A Sardar and an American are seated next to each other on a flight from

Los Angeles to New York . The American asks if he would

like to play a fun-game.

The Sardar, tired, just wants to take a nap, so he

politely declines and

rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The American persists and explains that the game is easy

and a lot of fun.

He says, ‘I ask you a question, and if you don’t know

the answer, you pay me $5, and vice versa.’

Again, the Sardar declines and tries to get some sleep.

The American, now worked up, says, ‘Okay, if you don’t

know the answer, you pay me $5,

and if I don’t know the answer, I’ll pay you $500.’

This gets the sardar’s attention and, figuring there

will be no end to this torment,

agrees to the game.

Have you heard the story of “The Washer-man and the Foolish Donkey”?

PART – I
To refresh your memory and for the benefit of those who have not grown up listening to this moral story,     it goes like this…

There once was a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into his house, the washer man was fast asleep but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn’t bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.
