Turning the Shovel Backwards. A farmhand dislikes large peas (beans), so he eats with his spoon upside down, saying, “If you stay on, I will eat you.” He gets married (his master sends him away) and has to provide for himself. Being in trouble, he asks his former master for a shovelful of uncooked peas. They go to the storeroom and the master turns the shovel upside down. He scoops the dry peas, saying, “If you stay on, I will measure you.”
