Excellent story! I don’t know if it’s sad or funny. Even though it has been presented as a funny story, there is lots of depth in to it. One side it shows how lazy the father- son duo, but on the other side, it shows the helplessness of those class and their strong inner desire for a good meal - a basic need.
