Chapter 29
A Pick Pocket
A True Story
Mr. Abdul Gani was an employee in
the police department.
This morning he was narrating some
interesting tales.
One day he had to take a pick
pocket to prison.
The thief however, had a
toothache, and his tooth was therefore, to be extracted.
So, with his hands bound in
handcuffs, the thief was taken to a dentist.
The dentist (doctor) was warned to
beware of the thief lest he pick his pocket.
The doctor replied, "Never
mind, what can he do? I am cautious and in full control of my senses."
Then the dentist got busy in
extracting the thief's tooth.
The pick pocket too began his
work.
He pinched a ten rupee note from
the doctor's pocket, who was deeply engrossed in his work; all this while the
thief himself was shrieking with pain!
The policemen watched this
spectacle quietly.
They later said to the doctor,
"May you please look into your pocket?"
The doctor searched his pocket and
was embarrassed to find it empty.
