MASTER OF EVERYTHING, SLAVE OF SEX!
A JOB-SEEKER got tired of visiting the manager
in an office. He couldn’t get the job. The manager
said to him, “There is no vacancy now; but come
and see me now and then.” This went on for a
long time, and the candidate lost all hope. One day
he told his tale of woe to a friend. The friend said:
“How stupid you are! Why are you wearing away
the soles of your feet going to that fellow? You had
better go to Golap. You will get the job
tomorrow.” “Is that so?” said the candidate. “I
am going right away.” Golap was the manager’s
mistress. The candidate called on her and said:
“‘Mother, I am in great distress. You must help me
out of it. I am the son of a poor brahmana
Where
else shall I go for help? Mother I have been out of
work many days. My children are about to starve to
death. I can get a job if you but say a word.” Golap
said to him, “Child, whom should I speak to?” She
said to herself: “Ah, the poor brahmana! He has
been suffering too much.” The candidate said to
her, “I am sure to get the job if you just put in a
word about it to the manager.” Golap said, “I shall
speak to him today and settle the matter.” The very
next morning a man called on the candidate and
said, “You are to work in the manager’s office,
from today.” The manager said to his English boss:
“This man is very competent. I have appointed
him. He will do credit to the firm.”
