In 'You can’t Fool Chachaji', when the kids offer him sweets, he assumes they’re probably soap, thinking he’s too sharp to fall for anything. But in the end, it’s Chachaji who ends up with the last laugh—unknowingly chomping down on soap instead of a sweet. It's a delightful curveball that left me chuckling at his expense.
In 'The Bashful Son-in-Law', the man’s extreme shyness sets off a hilarious chain of events. His excessive hesitation & bashfulness ultimately lead to his barber getting the cow that was meant for him. The son's timid nature doesn’t just result in a missed opportunity—it turns him into the punchline of his own situation. The story cleverly shows how being too shy & hesitant can end up biting you in the behind in the most comical ways.
In 'The Foolish Weaver', the story shows just how far vanity can take you—and how quickly it can all fall apart. In the end, the father-in-law’s straight-shooting attitude steals the show, showing that true worth isn’t skin-deep—it’s all about what’s beneath the surface. The weaver’s desperate attempts to impress backfire big time, turning into a punchline he’ll never live down. His attempts at showing off fall flat, leaving him with a lesson he’ll carry for the rest of his life.
The rest of the stories in this issue barely made a ripple.
