The young man rushed into town, collected his money, then hurried back home. He ran across the field, told his father the news, and handed the older man Rs one thousand.
The father looked at the money for a moment and then said, "Son, you know I've always been careful with what little money we had. I didn't spend it on liquor or women. In fact, I couldn't even afford the license to legally marry your Mom."
"Pa!" the young man stammered, "do you know what that makes me?"
"Yep," said the old man fingering the thousand rupees, "... and a cheap one, too."
