At work:
We were wondering how to tackle the menace
caused by a rat which had intruded in our factory. Wires were being chewed and
cut causing immense problems in our
assembly line of electronic instruments. After a few days, we decided to use
RAT POISON to kill the rat. One evening
before closing we spread pieces of cake of rat poison on the path usually
traced by the rat hoping that rat would die after eating them.
Next day morning when we opened the
factory, the cake pieces were missing. We were all happy in anticipating that
after eating the pieces of rat poison, the rat must have got killed. But no
sooner we heaved a sigh of relief, a rat just sprinted his usual path. We got surprised and annoyed too. Some 2-3
persons took sticks in their hands and chased the rat. The rat went on to the
loft. Our persons also went onto loft. The rat disappeared behind a sheet of
plywood. Determined to finish off the rat they lifted the sheet of plywood. And
lo! All the pieces of cake of rat poison
were lying there. The rat had not eaten
them. But it had collected all that attractive food to be eaten in times of
emergency. An act of saving for the
rainy day.
