One day after a lunch the king coming across this expression in some text asked him about its meaning. Molla a bit sleepy replied that "it is when your apology is worse than your mistake". The king infamous for his bad temper got angry saying "I know, but how can it be, why I keep you here if you can't explain anything". Then Molla pinched the king in the back. "What?" exclaimed the king. "Sorry, my king, I was so sleepy, one moment I thought I am in my house and you are my wife". King gave a shout "Call the butcher! Decapitate the old fool".
