 One day he suddenly remembered that he had to go to a foreign land on important business of selling and supplying goods. He loaded his goods on a ship and readied to go. He said to his young wife, "What do you like me to bring for you?"

 The wife said, "I have got everything. But as you have asked I want you to bring me wonder."

 The young trader went to the foreign land, sold his goods and bought merchandise to take back. Then, he remembered about his wife's wish. He roamed in markets looking for wonder but found it nowhere.

One of his old trader Friend asked, "Why do you look sad, youngman?"

 The trader revealed, "My wife wanted me to get wonder for her. But I found it nowhere."

 The old trader said,"Don't warry about it. I got one at my home."

 The young trader went with the old trader to his home. A cock was strutting about in the courtyard. Old man pointed to the said, "That's the wonder,"

 "How?" the youngman asked. The old man replied, "You will see." And he said to his cock, "Hey cock! Come here and lie down in fry pan."

 The cock came and lied down in fry pan. The old man blew at the cock and its feathers got blown away. Soon, they were at dining table eating roasted chicken. The old man said, "Don't throw the bones. Keep them on table."

 They ate and put bones on table cloth. After eating the old man dropped the bones on floor saying. "Get up cock! Strut about."

The cock rose from the bones and strutted around clucking merrily. He bought the wonder cock.

 Back at home, he handed the cock to his wife saying, "Here is your wonder. Roast it, eat and it will rise again."

 The wife of the trader couldn't believe it.

 The next morning, the trader left for his shop, And his wife invited her secret lover to lunch. When he came trader's wife said, "Hey cock! Lie down in fry pan."

 The cock didn't obey her. Infact, it tried to run away. The infuriated wife of the trader threw the frypan at the cock. The pan stuck to the cock. She ran to free her pan.

 As she touched the pan she got stuck to it.

 Her lover ran to free her but he too got stuck to her. The cock ran out dragging the procession of frypan, trader's wife and her lover. One the way whoever tried to free them got stuck to the train. Then the young trader saw it as the train passed by his shop.

 His wife revealed the truth. The young trader freed every one, one by one. He gave a sound thrashing to his wife's lover and brought his wife home and said, "A real wonder it is!"  The trader's wife never again went near the wonder cock.

THE NIGHT WE WON THE BUICK

              The Night We Won the Buick Read Now÷                      It was just before the Second World War.We were the only family in our New York town that didn't own a car.Our daily shopping trips were made in a disreputable, two-wheeled basket cart, drawn by an ancient Shetland pony that my mother had named Barkis after the character in David Copperfield. Bony  Barkis was an eyesore. Every clop of his splayed hoofs sounded our poverty. For poor we were. My father's salary as clerk would've maintained us in modest plenty had not half of it gone for the support and medical saying. "If you have character, you have the better part of wealth. Living on little develops inner resources and builds a spiritual bank account." My bitter retort was, "You can't buy a car with it." Yet she succeeded in making austerity bearable in all other respects. Our home had charm. Mother knew the secret of using a few metres of bright chintz and a little paint

                 The Thief's Story Read Now:-                          I was still a thief when I met Anil. And though only 15, I was an experienced and fairly successful hand. Anil was watching a wrestling match when I approached him. He was about 25 -- a tall, lean fellow -- and he looked easy-going, kind and simple enough for my purpose. I hadn't had much luck of late and thought I might be able to get into the young man's confidence.           "You look a bit of a wrestler yourself," I said. A little flattery helps in making friends. "So do you," He replied, which put me off for a moment because_at that time I was rather thin.       "Well, " I said modestly, "I do wrestle a bit."        "What's your name?"         "Hari Sing," I lied.
