Three Rolls and One Bagel

A man was hungry. He bought a kalach (a type of bread) and ate it—he was still hungry. He bought another kalach and ate it—he was still hungry. He bought a third kalach and ate it—he was still hungry. Then he bought some bagels, and after eating one, he felt full.

Then the man slapped himself on the head and said:

"What a fool I am! Why did I waste so many kalachi for nothing? I should have eaten a bagel first."
