A circus owner and a pehlwan

This was originally told to me in Urdu and I am not sure how well it will translate into English. Here goes:

There was a [pehlwan](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pehlwani) who was well known for eating a lot. So a circus owner got wind of him and approached him. He said 'I will get you lots of food and you can eat in all in front of the crowd. I will also give you a cut of the money earnt.'. The pehlwan agrees and on the day of the circus, he eats all of the food presented to him. The crowd loves him and the circus is a huge success. With all the money the circus owner convinces him to do another show with more food. After some convincing, the pehlwan agrees. He eats the greater amount of food given to him with ease as well, and the circus owner reaps the rewards. Seeing the opportunity to make even more money, he tries to convince the pehlwan for another show. This time, the pehlwan refuses. The circus owner keeps begging him but the pehlwan stops his advances. 'You fool, how much more are you going to make me eat? I have to go home and eat as well!'
