Story & Illustration by - Anagha K Udupa on 22/02/21

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!”
