Appukuttan walks into a restaurant in Abu Dhabi with a
full-grown camel behind
him, and as he sits, the waiter comes over and asks for
their order.
Appukuttan says, 'Enike nalu barotaum oru motta
roast,' [ I want 4
porottas and 1 egg roast] and turns to the
camel, 'Ninnake endane
vendiye?' [what do you want?]' 'Ennikum adhu
thane,' [ I'll
have the same] says the camel demurely.
A short time later the waiter returns with the order.
'That will be 15
dhirams please,' and Appukuttan reaches into his pocket
and pulls out exact
change for payment.
The next day, Appukuttan and the camel come again and
Appukuttan says,
'Enike nalu barotaum oru motta roast''. 'Ennikum adhu
thane,' says the camel demurely. [ ditto]
Once again Appukuttan reaches into
his pocket and pays with the exact change. This becomes a routine until late one evening, the two
enter again. 'The
usual?' asks the waiter. 'Innu vyaiyaichai annu,
enniku 5 apppamum oru
kozhi stew,' [ today is Thursday so I'll have 5
appams and chicken stew]
says Appukuttan. 'Ennikum adhu thane,' [ same for
me ] says the camel
demurely.
A short time later the waiter comes with the order and
says, 'That will be
12.62 dirhams.' Once again Appukuttan pulls exact
change out of his pocket
and places it on the table.
The waiter can't hold back his curiosity any longer.
'Excuse me, saar.
How do you manage to always come up with the exact change
out of your pocket
every time?'
'Well,' says Appukuttan, 'several years ago I
was cleaning the
'thatumbarra' [attic] and I found an old
'vellake'[lamp] . When
I
rubbed it a Yakshi appeared and offered me two wishes. My
first wish was that
if I ever had to pay for anything, just put my hand in my
pocket, and the right
amount of money would always be there.'
'Oogran'! [ Great] says the waiter. 'Most
people would wish for a
million rupees or something, but you'll always be as
rich as you want for as
long as you live!'
'That's right! Whether it is a gallon of milk, a
benz car or a Rolls
Royce , the exact money is always there,' says
Appukuttan.
The waiter asks, 'One other thing, sir, Ningal endena
ee ottakathinem kondu
nadakunnathe?''[ why are you always accompanied by
this camel].
Appukuttan sighs and answers, 'My second wish was for a
tall female with
long legs, full lips, large eyes with long eyelashes who
agrees with everything
I say........'
There is always a catch when you get your prayers
answered!
