Tasteful words

An Israeli philospher went to a poor family's home along with his disciple on invitation for dinner.The food that was served seemed stale and was not good enough.Even then,the philosopher didnt say anything and ate everything without much fuss.
After finishing ,the philosopher said,"Mother,how tasty the food was! God bless you".
On way the disciple asked,"Sir,Why did you praise the food even when it was not even worthy of eating? Isnt it lying which is a sin".
The philosopher asked,"The food that was served may not have tickled the taste buds in your mouth.But should the words that coming out of it be tasteless and bitter? There is no harm in lies which would brings happiness to someone"
