My Indian Garment

When I was coming to give my concert, two young girls saw me and said, "He's neat! He's neat! He's very rich. Look at his garment!"

I said, "I am very poor. I am very poor."

I was wearing my Indian clothes. The young girls replied, "You are very poor? You are very poor? Your clothes are so expensive. We know, we know."

I explained, "I am a musician. This is my musical garment."

They insisted, "No, you are very rich!"

So, they made me very rich!
