Master once called suppandi-
Master: “Suppandi, your skin has become dry. Why? What
happened?”
Suppandi: “I don’t know master”
Master: “It’s winter. That’s the reason.”
Suppandi: “ what can I do for the dry skin master?”
Master: “You can apply oil or moisturizer”
Master: “Here suppandi, take this moisturizer and apply it”
Suppandi: “Yes master”
Master: “Try to keep your skin wet…”
Suppandi: “Yes master”
Meanwhile the Mistress called Suppandi.
Mistress: “Suppandi…”
The Master continued without realizing that Suppandi isn’t listening…
Master: “…. with oil or moisturizer”
…while Suppandi is listening to mistress
Mistress: “Come here. Quick!”
Suppandi: “Yes mistress”
From the same day, he kept washing his face.
His face would be wet always, as if he was sweating.
After a few days-
Someone knocks the door
KNOCK KNOCK
Mistress: “Who could it be?”
Master: “I’ll go and check”
It was the water bill man
Water bill man: “Here’s your water bill sir”
Master: “Thank you”
Master is shocked…
…after seeing the bill
Master: “#@$%&*^”
Master: HUH!
Master: “Suppandi, is there a leakage in the tap? The water
bill is too much”
Suppandi: “No master. But…”
Suppandi: “ You told to keep my face wet so, I kept washing
my face all day!”
Master: You fool!
Master screams : “ SUPPANDIIII!”
