I wondered about the verdict. What do you think is the analogy in the Google V.

the judge ruled that the shop-owner was awarded the smell of
the
student's money in exchange for the smell of his cooking.
The
judge gives the shopkeeper a tin pan. He tells the student to take a coin out
of his pocket and drop it in the pan. The student complies. The judge tells
him to drop in another. The shopkeeper begins to gloat and the student to
despair, as the judge orders the student to drop coin after coin into the pan.
When the student has no money left, the judge takes the pan full of money and
gives it back to the student, telling the shopkeeper "the sound of his money is
full payment for the smell of your cooking".
This is an old memory of a
story I read as a kid. I did not remeber that it had anything to do with Japan.
If you had asked me an hour ago, I would have said it was probably from the
Arabian Nights.
