Ans. Who Is a Lesser Fool?
Raghu and Raj were two friends and neighbours. Raghu had a servant named Ramu. The name of Raj’s servant was Shammu. Both the servants were big fools. The two friends debated for hours whose servant was a greater fool. At last, they decided to give them a test to find out who was more foolish.
Next morning all the four gathered at Raj’s house. Raghu told his servant, “Run back to my house and find out if I am there or not.” Without wasting even for a second, Ramu rushed home. Then Raj called his servant Shammu and said, “Hurry up! Go to your room and find out if you are there or not.” Without even thinking for a moment, Shammu ran to his room. After some time they returned. Both of them were annoyed with their masters. Ramu complained, “Why did you waste your time? You could have phoned to find out whether you were there or not.” Shammu expressed his displeasure in these words: “Why didn’t you tell me before? I would not have come out of my room.” He reported that he was not found in the room. Raghu and Raj heaved a sigh. There was really nothing to choose between the two fools. Only God could decide who was the lesser fool?
