The Foolish man

 Mahesh, A Foolish young man lived in a small village with his old grandmother. One day, He run up his hand over his grandmother's Forehead and said 'Grandma, Your head is burning very hot'. Grandmother replied 'Yes Mahesh dear! I am having fever. Can you please go and get me some medicine?' 'Why not old Grandma? Here I Go! 'And so, he left for the medicine shop.



On the way, he saw a blacksmith. He was keeping cold ice over a hot iron rod. Mahesh asked him.

'Blacksmith Uncle, why are you putting ice over a hot iron rod?' The Blacksmith replied.' That's when it will turn cold. See, it is cool now!' When Mahesh heard this, he got a idea. He went back to his house and fetched bucketful of cold water from the well and went to his grandmother.


He poured the water on his grandmother, who did not expect this. Next moment, She began screaming.' Somebody save me! My Grandson is trying to kill me!' But Mahesh said coolly 'No Grandma, it will decrease your fever!'


 

The villagers rushed in, hearing her cries. One of them said' Oh! If only we have not come, he would have killed you!'
