Before word: My cousin is in first year of her college and she has to perform a skit. So I am writing this story for her, with only lady characters. 

Story:

Three women from a village, who were soothsayers, were walking in the desert. They were Ankamma, Chakkamma and Pullamma.  Being tired of long walk, they sat under a tree.

Ankamma – “Do you think we’re gonna have customers on the other side of the desert?”

Chakkamma – “Yeah! No one believes us on this side of the desert. It is the best option for now. If not for Pullamma, we would have still stayed there”

Pullamma – “What did I do? I just foretold to a person who came to me, that the person will marry a beautiful princess. You too lie all the time to the people who ask you about their future”

Chakkamma – “But to say that to a 90-year old and that too a woman. It’s disgusting. You better go to an eye-doctor first”

Pullamma – “Yeah, and you are saying as if I was the whole reason for the villagers to throw us out. You foretold that a hero will be born to save the villagers from the tyranny of the Landlord, when the person who came to you is the landlord in disguise. And you Ankamma, you are no less”

Ankamma – “Hey look, there is a person crossing the desert, let’s go to her and tell her future”

Chakkamma  - “Ankamma, don’t be too excited”

Pullamma – “Chakkamma, let Ankamma go. Ankamma you go first, I will follow you slowly”

Before Pullamma’s words ended, Ankamma ran to the person walking

Ankamma – “Know your future, just for 10 dollars”

Person – “I know my future. Let me go on my way”

Ankamma – “Oh yeah, you think you know your future. Let me be clear on one thing, now itself God told me that something unexpected is going to happen to you with in the next one hour. And unless you give me 10 dollars, I am not gonna tell you what it is”

At this the person opened his hood. It was a woman, carrying dagger. She caught Ankamma, put a knife around her neck and

Person – “Tell me, who will win the football world cup; Argentina or Germany?”

Ankamma – “How can I know? Please leave me, I beg you”

Person – “You can consult God na, tell me who’s gonna win”

Pullamma who was slowly observing all this, ran back to Chakkamma and told her about the situation. When Pullamma and Chakkamma came back, only Ankamma was there, counting the dollars.

Pullamma – “What? Nothing happened to you?”

Ankamma  - “Why should something happen to me ?”

Chakkamma – “Pullamma told me that the person tried to slit your throat”

Ankamma – “I don’t know. May be she was dreaming. Look at it, I got ten dollars”

Pullamma – “Let’s share it”

Ankamma – “No way, I earned it. If you want, earn it yourself and keep the whole money. I won’t ask for share”

And again, another person started walking that way. Pullamma, without telling any of them, thinking they might grab the chance, ran directly to the person, and

Pullamma – “Know your future, just for 10 dollars”

Person – “I know my future. Let me go on my way”

Pullamma – “Oh yeah, you think you know your future. Let me be clear on one thing, now itself God told me that something unexpected is going to happen to you with in the next one hour. And unless you give me 10 dollars, I am not gonna tell you what it is”

At this the person opened his hood. It was a woman, carrying dagger. She caught Pullamma, put a knife around her neck and

Person – “Tell me, who will win the football world cup? Argentina or Germany?”

Pullamma – “How can I know? Please leave me, I beg you”

Person – “You can consult God na, tell me who’s gonna win”

Pullamma understood that for the first time in her life, she foresaw the future and now she was not in a position to control it. The person cut Pullamma’s throat, took her jewelry and ran away.

And lo, the story is over
