Bad Deal (Ghaate ka sauda)

Saadat Hasan Manto

Two buddies selected one girl out of 40–50 and bought her for Rs. 42.

After spending the night, one of them asked her, “What’s you name?”

When she told her name, the guy was flabbergasted. “But he told us that you belong to the other religion.”

She replied, “He lied.”

The guy ran to his buddy and told him, “That asshole cheated us… He sold us a girl from our own… Let’s go and return her.”
