A passerby watched two sardar's in a park. One was digging holes and the other was immediately filling them in again.

'Tell me,' said the passerby, 'what on earth are you doing?'

'Well,' said the one who was digging, 'usually there are three of us. I dig the hole, Hikmat plants the tree and Ujjar fills

in the hole. Today Hikmat is off ill, but that doesn't mean ujjar and I get the day off, does it?'
