Poor Sukhdeo was returning home after day’s hard labour.On the way he saw a sweet shop. From the shop the smell of sweets was coming. Sukhdeo stood near the shop enjoying the smell.
Sukhdeo had little money,so he satisfied himself with the smell and began to move away.
“Stop!” the sweet seller shouted,”Where are you going without paying the money?”
“Money! But I have not taken any sweet,” Surprised Sukhdeo protested.
But you were enjoying the smell of my sweets! It does not come free,” said the seller.
“I have already paid the money,” replied Sukhdeo.
When did you paid the money?” sweet seller asked angrily.
“ I took the smell of your sweets and you heard the jingle of my coins. The account is setteled.”
Moral of the story : Never try to be oversmart.
