Banta was a sheep farmer who needed help with the difficult task of castrating some of his inferior male sheep to keep them from breeding with the females. He hired a French guy who didn`t speak Punjabi/Hindi, but was a very good worker. After the first day, Banta and the French guy had successfully castrated 14 sheep. When this French worker was just about to throw away the ‘parts`, but Banta yelled, "No! Don`t throw those away! My wife fries them up and we eat them. They`re delicious and we call them `sheep fries`." Later that day, the French worker came in for supper and indeed, the `sheep fries` were tasty. The next day, they castrated 16 sheep, and the next evening they all settled down to another supper of `sheep fries`. The third day, however, when Banta came home, he asked his wife, Preeto, where the French woker was. She said, "You know, it was the weirdest thing! I told him since there weren`t very many `sheep fries` this evening, we were also going to have French fries. Then he screamed and ran like hell." |
