Smiles for the day

My employer gave me Rs. 50/- to purchase 2 cups of Ice-Creams
While returning to office I emptied one cup all in my enthusiasm
I gave my employer one cup and he asked me for another
Fearing to tell the truth, I told him it is the other

He asked me, before leaving how much money he gave me?
Rs. 50/-, I told him with a shiver and a pain on my knee
“What`s the cost of one cup ice-cream!” he growled in a hurry
It…. It… It is Rs. 25/-, I replied to him shivering to his fury

“How many cups did you purchase!” was the next query
T…T…Two was my reply in a tone nervous and that was shivery
Roaring in anger, he asked, You gave me one where`s another
Pulling my collar button and neck straight, I told him it is the other

Growing vexed he told me to get seated in the nearby chair
And asked me, “how may cups did you purchase!” in all his despair
When I told him it was two, he asked me where`s another
Standing on my toes, t replied to him that it is the other

Calling up another person, and before him he queried me
“How many cups!” this time my employer seemed like my enemy
He shouted to my silence, “If it were two!” where`s another
Feeling if I could flee, I replied to him that it is the other.

…and the sequence continues
