| Santa had just finished collecting the rents from the tenants in his apartment block. But when he got home he realized that his wallet was missing and burst into tears. "What's the matter?" asked his wife. "I've lost my wallet containing 25 thousand rupees," he wailed. "I think I put it in my inside coat pocket, but it's not there now." "Did you look in the pockets of your pants?" "Yes, but the money isn't there either." "What about the side pocket of your jacket? Did you look there?" "Of course not!" he snapped. "Do you want me to lose the last bit of hope I have left?" |
