the cat and the meat

there was once a sneering wife
who ate all her husband brought home.
and lied about it
one day it was some lamb for a guest.
who was to come ;He had worked two hundred days/
in order to buy meat.
when he was away his wife cooked a kebab.
and ate it all with wine.
the husband returns with his guest.
the cat has eaten the meat. she said
buy more if you have any money left.
He asks a servant to bring the scales.
and the cat, the cat weighs three pounds. one ounce
if this is the cat where is the meat?
if this is the meat where is the cat?
start looking for one or the other.
