about you.
Sudha: I am not talking to you, keep all your stories with you.
Chanderkant: Listen na Sudha, the food was so delicious, that I ate and ate and
ate.
Sudha: Yeah I am sure, where do you get food and so many dishes to eat, I wish I
was there.
Chanderkant: But there was something which was the most delicious of them all
Sudha: most delicious???? Really? What was it?
Chanderkant: The coconut burfi…..ummmmmm…..

Scene 4
Fruit seller: Chanderkant good morning, how come you are here at the market?
Chanderkant: (makes a face) Just going for a walk.
Person 1: how much are the apples for.
Fruit Seller: ₹80 per kg, try the custard apple sir it’s really sweet.
Chanderkant: (to the person 1) Why you need so much sweetness at this age? You
will get diabetes.
Person 2: You mind your own business, actually you will get heart attack by
sitting on so much money.
Fruit Seller: Leave it sir, don’t bother, can I pack 2kg custard apples and 1 kg
bananas?
Chanderkant: Calm down old man, otherwise with sugar you will have blood
pressure as well.
Person 2: Who do you called old?
Person 1: Leave it Anna, let’s buy apples. Chanderkant is only miser with money
not with words.
Chanderkant: (walks) Mad fellow who eats fruits? I neither have money nor have
time to waste.
Fruit seller: why I had to see his face in the morning.

Cloth merchant: where are you going in such a hurry? What happened?
Chanderkant: I am going to the coconut groove.
Cloth merchant: Oh, that’s another 3 kms ahead. Are you going to buy lots of
coconut?
Chanderkant: No, just one coconut.
Cloth merchant: So far for just a coconut? Why what happened to the coconut
sellers in the village?
Chanderkant: They all are cheats, they always overcharge.
Cloth merchant: I am sure at the coconut grove; the seller will give you good
price.
Puppet 1: So, our Chanderkant walked for 10 kms.
Puppet 2: For that one coconut which could cost less.
Puppet 1: And finally, Chanderkant reached the second coconut seller.
Chandrakant: How is one coconut for?
Coconut seller 2: One for 15 rupees.
Chandrakant: One for 15 rupees? Have you lost your mind? You are sitting at the
coconut grove and selling coconut at such a loot rate?
Coconut seller 2: You want to buy, buy…otherwise don’t give me any lecture pl
ease. I know how to do my business.
Chandrakant: I am sure you know, but can you give me the coconut for 5 rupees?
Coconut seller 2: That is not possible, but what you can do is to go 10 kms and
there is another coconut grove, where you will get the coconuts for 5 rupees.
