Banta had a habit of panicking over small events.
Once He rushes up to his wife Pammo and says, almost crying, "I can’t find my wallet. I’ve been looking for it everywhere. What should I do? I had over 2000 Rs in it, and all my credit cards, Oh Lord have mercy!!"
"Calm down Banta," replies Pammo, "we just came back from shopping, so did you look in your jacket?"
"Yes, of course I did," replies Banta, "do you think I’m a fool? I’ve looked in my jacket’s inside pockets three times already and it’s not there."
"So what about your trouser pockets?" asks Pammo.
"I’ve looked in there too," replies Banta, "but my wallet isn’t in either pocket.
What shall I do, Pammo? What shall I do?"
"Oh stop worrying like a kid," says Pammo. "What about the side pockets of your jacket? Have you checked your wallet isn’t in there?"
"I’m not such a big fool yet, Pammo," Banta cries. "Of course I haven’t looked in my jacket’s side pockets......
Why should I give up the last bit of hope I have left?"
