A short story about sensitivity

There is a story told of a person who came to a great rabbi with a question. Can one fulfill the obligation of drinking the four cups on Pesach with milk? The rabbi thought a moment and then went into his safe to take out money to give to the fellow.

As the rabbi handed the money to the fellow to use to purchase wine the rabbi gave him extra to purchase chicken and other foods. The man bewildered asked the rabbi how is it that you know that I didn't even have chicken for pesach?.

The rabbi answered if you are asking me about using milk for the four cups then as well you don't have any chicken!!! For we know that one doesn't eat milk and meat together.
