"हाय! हाय! मेरे पैसे डूब गए!"

"कहाँ डाले थे?"

"विदेश में।"

"अरे, कौन से देश में?"

"दुबई।"

"ले, यह तो नाम से ही सावधान होना चाहिए था!"

"???"

"और क्या--वहां नकद डूबाई जाती है..."

Weeping investor

"Oh, oh, oh! I lost all my money!"

"Where did you put it?"

"In a foreign country with high growth."

"Which one?"

"Dubai."

"Ha! You should have known from the name."

पापा की छत्र छाया में

तरु की शादी करुण से हुई। कुछ सालों बाद उनका एक बेटा हुआ, जिसका नाम उन्होंने सूरज रखा।

क्योंकि वह बहुत गोरा था, धूप में उसे बहुत जलन होती थी। इसलिए, जब भी धूप निकलती, सूरज पापा की छाया में खड़ा हो जाता।

At one of these courts, the police produced a donkey who was found wandering without a fixed destination.

"Clearly, a vagrant and beggar! Jail him!"

"Guilty! Jail for them!"

Three cats who were playing musical instruments at traffic lights were next up, and the police were getting more confident.

"Beggars! Off to jail!"

Finally, in the last case of the day, 6 chickens were produced, along with witnesses who had heard them asking for money from passers-by. The police were ready to pack up for the day with a clean sweep.

"Not guilty! Release them."

Pandemonium. The public prosecutor rushed up, wringing her hands. "But why?"

"Beggars can't be चूजा s!"
