popcorns!

a farmer

put his bumper maize produce

in the tractor trolley

went straight to the market

sold it all

and returned home

with bagfull

of cash.

--

he put the bag of fortune

on the table

opened it

and gave a bunch of currency notes

to his freshly graduated son

"this is for you, enjoy!!!"

--

he, then

picked up the bag

locked it in the almirah locker

and went straight to the store room.

there

he saw

one last big bag full of maize corns

he had kept back.

he emptied the bag

on the floor

and divided it

into two heaps.

--

"what are you doing, dad!"

his son asked

who had followed him into the store room.

--

"this heap, son

is for making popcorns

for all of us

for the rest of the year.

and that heap

i will sow back

as seeds

into the field

for next season's harvest!!!"

son heard this

and went out.

--

the farmer put the two heaps

in separate bags

put them aside

and came out!

--

and there he saw

his son

re-counting the money

he had just got!

"now what are you doing?" the father asked

"this bunch, dad

is for my luxury popcorns

and this one

is for investing!"
