Santa Singh needed some money desperately. Banta Tells
him that if he prays to Shivji in a temple, his prayers would surely
be answered.
So Santa goes to a Shiva temple. The temple had a large Lord Shiva
statue.
Santa closes his eyes, bows his head, joins his hands and says his
prayer. Santa: \"Ho Jee tussee itne vadde ho. Itne mahan ho. Saannoo
100 rupayen
chahiye. Kripa karo.\"The priest saw Santa praying. He wanted to help
Santa,but
knew that a Sikh will never accept the money. So he drops a 100-rupee
note,
from behind the statue, so that Santa can not see him. After Santa had
said
his
prayers, and opened his eyes. He saw the note and thought that god has
listened
to his prayers. He takes the note and goes away.

However he is back again next day for money. Now the priest is really
annoyed with Santa. The Priest decides that he is not going to give
any more money to Santa. He changes the big Shivji statue with a
smaller one of Ganapathi that day. Once again Santa goes to the prayer
room. However he does not notice the difference. Santa closes his
eyes, bows his head, joins his hands and says his prayer. Santa: \"Ho
Jee tussee itne vadde ho. Itne mahan ho. Ajj to saannoo 50 rupayen hi
chahiye. Kirpa karo.\" After that he slowly opens his eyes and does not
find any money. So he lowers his demand a bit. Santa: \"O papa jee
tussee itne vadde ho. Itne mahan ho. Asee 10 rupayen me hi kaam chala
lenge. Kirpa karo jee.\" Again he slowly opens his eyes and does not
find any money. He slowly raises his head and now notices the small
Ganapathi statue. He carefully looks left and then right, and then
slowly moves a bit forward near the statue.Then he whispers to the
statue: \"Puttar, Papa kitthe ne??!!\"
