Story Of a DOOR.

We had to do some carpentry work in our school today. So our carpenter(Nandana) started his work and started telling us a story while he is working.

There is a famous Hindu temple in our area.They had a committee of 28 people to to manage the temple administration.One day they wanted to fix a door to the kitchen.Nandana was appointed there to fix it.They brought a big nice door and asked Nandana to start up his work.

So he fixed it nicely within an hour and was doing some finishing works.While he was busy one of the committee member came and evaluated his work.

"Nandana,This is not what we want. We want to cut this door horizontally and make it as two separate parts then it is easier for us to communicate through upper part without opening the whole door."

So Nandana cut the door into two pieces and fixed the door.Then another senior committee member came by   the way and looked at the door and told "Why the heck you cut this door in such a way? I want you to cut this vertically then it is easy for us to walk through"

Nandana cut the door vertically and fixed it thought now they can open the door by four ways so they will not complaint again. But unfortunately the priest came and told "why this door is in a funny way? we just want to have few square holes in the door then we can easily exchange things through those.So fix it in that way."

 Nandana got irritated really.He did some patch work and put the holes again.Next the manager came and told "Here boy, Who asked you to put the holes and all patches in this door.Do you know the value of this door?I don't care what you will do.I want this immediately to be fixed and I want the way I gave you the door."

Nandana was about to cry. "Sir, Priest only asked to make some holes.All wanted in their own way.What I can do?"

"See,He gone crazy.Don't listen to all his crap.You just listen to me.Else you pay the cost of the door and leave."

He put the patches and fixed the door somehow. He saw the owner of the temple running towards him angrily. "@$#%#^%&$%... What have you done  #%$&^$&%&^(* .... You know how much I spent to build this temple? You know how famous is this? If people see my door,what they will think?... Manager,Throw out this person and have a replacement immediately.Buy a new door and ask the new person to fix it properly"

Nandana fainted infront of the door.

LifE SaveR

This story is from history.Well, I'm not quite sure whether it is a fictional or a real story.

In 1973, Mrs. Bandaranayke’s government decided to establish the Shipping Corporation and decided to buy a Ship. Srilanka's first  ship Mv.Lanka Rani inaugurated the first Liner service in Srilanka. 

All srilankans were so amazed and they went to see that as it is first ship.Everybody were allowed to go inside and have a look.It was crowded by lots of people. Suddenly one girl fell in to the sea from the ship.All were shocked.They didn't know what to do as there ain't any life saver equipments.

Most of the youngsters pretended as they gonna jump and save the girl but nobody did it.Suddenly an old man jumped from the ship and struggled to save that girl. Fortunately an Army life saver boat came by the way and saved both of them.

Once they are safe,all the press reporters rushed to that old man and tried to interview him.They asked "when all the others waited without giving a try to save that girl,even youngsters ,How could you tried?Which made you to do this amateur work?'

He replied "If I ever see the person who pushed me down from the ship,I'll cut him into the pieces.. @#%$%&% &%^#$$#" 

Simple hitting. Blood pouring..

Nobody is perfect. NOBODY..Even the people who shows them as perfect,they do have some silly minus points.

This story is about a teacher and his language.I'm not writing this to insult teachers(even am not so good in languages).But a small funny note to share with everybody.

There was a teacher in a small school who is very poor in English language.But he was very smart in covering it up.

One day when he was teaching,the class next to his, was filled with of noises.He got irritated by the noise as he couldn't continue the lesson.So he went to that class.

When he went, he saw two class students got together and playing cricket inside the class room.He shouted at them angrily and told them not to make any noise.Once he gone,they started doing the same thing again.

He was annoyed to the extreme and came back. Angrily slapped one child. unfortunately,The child's ear started bleeding.It was a very small injury on outer ear.But all the students made the teacher scare saying it is bleeding from inside.

The incident was taken to the principal.He asked what exactly happened.So the teacher started explaining this way.

"Two classes....Small Children...Playing cricket....

Shouting shouting....

I,one time telling. No hearing...

two times telling. No hearing...

three times telling No hearing...

Simple hitting. Blood pouring..."
