The clothes make the man (Story about King Matthias of Hungary)

King Matthias went to the cafeteria, but he was in tattered clothes. Then he sat on a chair, waiting for waiters to give him something, but they ignored him, they sent him from one corner to another Well he was in tattered clothes, so they did not want to serve him.

Well there is nothing to do, he saw, he went and bought a nice dress suit, changed his clothes. He went in, now the waiters almost came to blows as they were in a hurry to serve him well. Well, then they brought him a large kettle of coffee, and then the king put the coffee in his clothes saying:

- Well my clothes, drink coffee, because they respect you and not the man!

Pokolpatak (Moldva)
