Baburam’s homework assignment is to think of a true story with a moral so he goes home and thinks about it all night and finally has one.

The following day, pampha raises her hand first and says, “My dad owns a farm and every Sunday we load the chicken eggs on the truck and drive into town to sell them at the market. Well, one Sunday we hit a big bump and all the eggs flew out of the basket and onto the road.”

The teacher asks for the moral to the story. Pampha replies, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

Next is Dil Kumari. “Well, my dad owns a farm, too, and every weekend we take the chicken eggs and put them in the incubator. Last weekend only 8 of the 12 eggs hatched. The moral is, don’t count your chicks before they are hatched.”

Baburam is last to speak. He says, ”My uncle Prachande fought in the Nepal People War. His donkey was shot down over enemy territory. He jumped out before it crashed, with only a eye glass, a bottle of local jaad, a looted machine gun, and a machete. As he floated down he drank the bottle of bourbon. Unfortunately, he landed right in the middle of 100 Royal Nepalese Army. He shot 70 with his machine gun, but ran out of bullets so he pulled out his machete and killed 20 more. The blade broke on his machete, so he killed the last 10 with his bare hands.”

The teacher looks in shock at Baburam and asks if there is possibly any moral to his story.

Baburam replies, “Don’t f**k with my Uncle Prachande when he’s been drinking.”
