On leaving his office and reaching the tram stop, Banta found that the tram bound for his home had just started moving. Banta in his anxiety, to get home fast, ran after the tram. In the course of time, it was found that the race between the speeding tram and Banta ended with Banta reached home chasing the tram. Gleefully upon entering the house, Banta exclaimed to his wife that he saved 2 Rupees chasing the home-bound tram! Mrs Banta, however, was not amused. In fact, she was quite upset and said, "After all you are only dumb-headed. Instead of chasing the tram, if only you had chased a taxi, you could have saved 50 Rupees instead of a mere 2 Rupees." |
