After finishing his pot of tea he put the bird in the covered teapot to keep it warm. A waiter did not see that a bird was inside the pot and refilled the pot with hot water. Sadly, the bird died. From then on, it was said you had to remove the lid when you wanted some more tea. This was a sure sign that the pot was really empty. 1.
