Cooking the Cabbage

Two thieves met one day in the Land of Fools.

As with all people of the same profession, they started to boast of their exploits.

One of the thieves said:
'I once stole a cabbage as big as a house!'

The other said:
'I once stole a saucepan as big as a palace.'

The first thief said:
'What would anyone want a thing like that for?'

Said the second thief:
'It was needed to cook your cabbage in!'
