a man is wandering through the desert
He hasn't had any water for days
and is dying of thirst. To his amazement, he comes across three market

He crawls up to the first one. "Water, water! Give me water!" he cries.
"I'm sorry," says the first stall holder, "I sell nothing but custard."
The man crawls up to the second stall. "Water, water!Give me water!" he
cries.
"I'm sorry," says the second stall holder, "I sell nothing but cream
and sponge."
The man crawls up to the third stall. "Water, water! Give me water!" he
cries.
"I'm sorry," says the third stall holder, "I sell nothing but hundreds
and thousands."
"I can't believe none of you has any water," says the man.
"I know," says the third stall holder, "it is a trifle bazaar..."
