Goha and the shoes

Goha was a generous and kind hearted, popular man. He was also target of continous practical jokes from his friends.
Once Goha's friends decided that they'd go over to his house pretending that he had invited them for lunch. On seeing his friends, he welcomed them, but was embarrassed when they told him that they were here for the lunch invitation! Goha ran inside to inform his wife of this. The wife exclaimed, "But Goha! There is no food in the house and no money too !! How could you not have informed me before!!? How can we have guests in the house waiting for the meal which will never come!".
Goha then appraised his wife, of his supposed mistake. The wife, more world wise knew immediately Goha to be innocent and saw through the trick his friends were playing. She told Goha the same who came up with a trick of his own !
He went outside, and collected all the shoes which his friends had removed outside the home before entering, sold those for money, bought food with that. Goha's wife prepared succulent dishes and desserts.
The friends who had been waiting for a long time now, ate and ate and ate until none could eat any more. Only then when they decided to leave, no one could find their shoes !!
"Where are our shoes", they asked of Goha, who then replied cheerfully "In your stomachs, dear friends !!"
