THOSE CHEEKY LITTLE SADHUS

In which an appointment is made to see the Pot-Bellied Monster.

The Appointment

They asked the little mouse if his master was truly the most knowledgeable fellow in the world as everyone had claimed.

“Would you like to know” the little mouse replied.

“That’ll be good, real good” said the Sadhu who had the longest wispy beard the little mouse had ever seen.

“I can make an appointment if you want” retorted the little mouse.

“Very well little mouse, how soon can we see your Big Eared Master?” questioned the Sadhu who was clearly the chubbiest of the lot.

But before the little mouse could reply, the last and most excitable Sadhu blurted out in excitement “Big Belly!” and resigned himself with a giggle that would have put any school girl to shame.

“You must know that my master is very busy and I need to check his schedule”

“Be quick, little mouse, we ain’t got all day” barked the Sadhu while stroking his long wispy beard like someone stroking a cat when neither of them had anything to do.

After checking through a hard bound book which resembled somewhat like a diary the little mouse said in a manner most firm “He is only free on the day after tomorrow.”

The Sadhus hurled together and discussed something among themselves with an occasional escape of a giggle and a murmur that was barely audible.

“Inform your Big Eared Master”

“Big Belly” screamed the excitable fellow once again and apologized when all eyes were upon him.

“Like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted” eying his apprentice and continuing “Inform your Master about our appointment and shall meet him here on the day after tomorrow”

The Day After Tomorrow

The Pot-Bellied Monster was happily picking flowers when the cheeky little Sadhus from the high Himalayan Mountains greeted him and requested his audience.

“Greetings, oh noble one, we seek your audience” said the eldest Sadhu who was still seen with his long wispy beard.

“Aye, I thought I was meant to see you the day after tomorrow.”

“Indeed, and that day is today” remarked the elder Sadhu.

“Yes, YES, long bearded one, this day is Today, the next day is Tomorrow and the day after that is the day you need to see me.” bemused the Pot-Bellied Monster who by now had a handful of the most peculiar and colorful flowers.

Those cheeky little Sadhus from the high Himalayan Mountains left cursing and swearing the Pot-Bellied Monster and to their amusement never got their scheduled appointment.

So till my next post ya, its bye from Ganz.
