| Rav Huna: | If there is anyone who heard something about me that I must rectify, let him speak! |
| Sages: | This is what we heard, that the Master did not give branches to his sharecropper. |
| Rav Huna: | Did he leave me any of them? He stole all of them from me! (That is, he took far more than his rightful share.) |
| Sages: | This is an example of the popular adage: Steal from a theif and feel the taste of stealing! |
