**************
WHAT A WITTY WISH !
*************************
Once upon a time,three gullible farmers occupied a tiny piece of land situated by the side of a woodland.They toiled and moiled in their field from dawn to dusk daily like a Trojan.They earned sufficient to make both ends meet
Ironically,some yeggs took shelter in the forest.Though they did not inflict any harm upon these peasants,yet they regularly committed heists in the nearby villages.After plundering and looting,they would decamp with the booty safely.
One day when they raided the village to pillage,the villagers chased to apprehend them.The brigands,as usual scooted away.But on reaching the suburbia of the forest,the villagers saw the three farmers plowing.
At once one trilled,"These are the bandits disguising themselves to hoodwink us."
The villagers seized them and took them captive.They were produced before the king.The helpless and hapless farmers pleaded their innocence,but the king turned a deaf ear to their entreaties and protests and ordered them to be imprisoned.
Thereafter,a woman would visit daily the palace,wailing and moaning for the mercy for the innocent prisoners.The guards would ruthlessly shoo her away.Finally one day feeling pity,they took her to the king.
Here,the poor woman narrated her story,of how the prisoners were guiltless and begged for their release.
The king asked her,"What is your relation with the prisoners?"
"One is my spouse,one is my son and one is my only brother."
After brooding a bit,the king said,"In that case,I can set free only one.Tell whom you wish to be released."
"Your Majesty,"blurted out the lady,"I can always find another hubby;and so have another son.But as my parents have already departed for their heavenly abode,i can not have another brother.So,please release my brother to me."
The king let out a yowl of joy.He was pleased to the hilt with this intelligent and witty wish.As a reward,he set free all the three.The woman joyfully quit the palace with her family.
