Sagara alias “Anton” and Maduranga alias “Mosquito” are my neighbors. They and another three are living that boarding place. Others are Udara alias “Tin Tin”, Niroshan alias “Public” and Chamika alias “Quarry”.
One fine day there was a rat died at their boarding place. Therefore there was a bad smell everywhere. It’s near Anton’s room than others. After he spread perfume all over the room.
But he was unable to sustain it further.
So he told story to Mosquito. The Mosquito agree with him to find the dead rat.
Anton was very happy.
But Anton saw Mosquito was dressing to depart somewhere.
“Hey man, where are you going to go?” he asked.
“I’m going to meet my girlfriend” Mosquito replied.
“Can’t you help me?” that’s Anton.
“I’ll come soon. Wait for an hour” said Mosquito and ran away.
Anton had nothing to do. Therefore he told the situation to other three guys who are in the boarding place. But the way he told is somewhat different than the previous one.
“Hey guys, there is a bad smell from outside, isn’t there?” he asked.
Public and Tin Tin acted as deaf. After Quarry asked “No man, from where that bad smell comes?”
Anton was angry and said “haven’t three of you noses. If elephant died at here you’ll sit like this. Idiots”
“Ok we’ll come to find it” Public told.
After several minutes Anton came quickly to others and said “One of my friend called me, it is an emergency. Therefore I have to go. Please find that”
He departed from boarding place and others got angry. They stayed with playing cricket at garden because of the bad smell didn’t spread to their rooms.
Other two guys came to boarding at night. When Anton just came to room he smelled that.
He came to Tin Tin and asked “Didn’t you find that, what were you doing?”
Tin Tin laughed and told “There was an ant died at your room and we cremated it”
