Book Cover & Preview Text
A young man had to appear for his first interview. He had a new pair of trousers made for the interview. When he tried them on in the morning, he found that they were two inches too long.
So he went to his mother and said to her, “Will you not reduce the size of the trousers by two inches so that I can wear them for my interview?”
“Please don’t disturb me now,” said the mother. “I am preparing breakfast for your father and he has to leave for work.”
So he approached his sister and said, “Will you not bring the trousers to the proper size?”
“Please don’t disturb me,” replied the sister. “I am doing my homework!”
He then appealed to his grandmother: “Dear Granny! I have to go for my interview. Will you not cut my trousers to the right size?” And the Granny said, “What can I do, my boy? Today is a day on which I cannot thread the needle. I cannot do this work now.”
The poor boy! Exasperated, he had no choice but to take up a needle and thread and do the job himself. The task completed, he kept his trousers aside, ready to be worn in the afternoon.
Imagine his horror when he put on the trousers! They had been reduced to half-pants! His mother had prepared the breakfast for the father and then reduced the trousers by two inches. So also the sister, after having completed her homework, had further reduced the length of the trousers.
And finally, the grandmother had called for a servant to thread the needle for her and she too had reduced the size of the trousers by two inches more!
The result was disastrous!
