Pati kaam se ghar jaldi aa gaya,
patni ne ye dekha
to gabra kar premi ko powder laga kar,
kone mein murti ki tarah khada kar diya
pati kamre mein
aya to usne moorti dekhi aur pucha
pati: “ye kya hai?”
patni muskurate hue boli:
“ji ye murti gupta ji ne di hai.”
pati kuch na bola, aur kaam kaaj mein
vyast ho gaya
aadhi raat ko uth kar murti ke aage
sandwich rakh kar bola.
pati: “kha lo gupta ji, parson main bhi tumhare ghar saari raat aise hi khada raha kisi ne pani tak bhi nahi puchha tha“
