An elderly and rich bania but mean in money matters acquired a young, pretty wife who was a spendthrift. He thought of a scheme to teach his wife the habit of saving. He presented her with a small tin box with a slit in its lid, locked it and put the key in his pocket. “Meyree Jaan” he said to her, “Every time you let me kiss you, I will puta four anna piece into the box through this slit on top. At the end of the month I will unlock it. All the money in it will be yours to spend as you like.”
The scheme worked very well. The young wife showed more willingness to be kissed and her elderly husband was quite happy to part with four anna coins for what he got in return.
At the end of the month with a grand gesture he produced the key from his pocket and unloked the box. What he saw did not please him because there were many 50 paise and rupee coins in the box.
“Where did these come from?” he demanded angrily.
“I’ve only been putting in chavannis.”
“Not everyone is as mean as you,” replied the wife saucily.
