Teen Botal Daru

________________________________________
Ek baar ek Jat, Daaru ke adde pe ja kar 'teen' botal daru ki mangta hai. Phir apni table pe le jake teeno botalon mein se ek ghoont baar-baari se bharan lagya, aur dheere-dheere un teenuo ne khatam dala.

Doosre din bhi usne wahi adde pe aa kar usi tarah se teen botal daaru ki maangi. Es baar Daru ke adde ka malik ne uste poochee,"Re, ke baat se? ya daaru peene ki kimi nayee style se ke?" Jat bolya,"Mere yaar Pooche manya, baat ya se ki mera ek bhai Australia ja rhya se, aer ek England. Per unke jaan te phele humne ya kasam khai thee ke hum un purane dina ki (jad saathe piya karte the) yaad karke, apni-apni jagha te ise tharah ek doosre ke naam ki teen botal piya karenge!"

Malik bola," Bhai ya baat to khoob kahi, thaare te mil kar badi kushi hui!"

Ese tharah roj hoya karta, Jat aata, teen botal le kar baari-baari se piya karta. Ek din wa adde mein aaya aer usne sirf 'do' botal hi mangwaee! Eeb saare Daru ke adde mein shaanti jha gayee, sab log jo uski aadat jante the, dukh mein shaant ho gaye. Adde ke malik ne Jat ke paas do botal pahunchayee aer usse dheere se bolya,"Manne kahi Jat bhai, mein thaare dhuk ne door to na kar saku hun, per yade hum saare thaare saath es dukh-bhari ghadi mein shamil zaroor sein!"
Jat ne phela to samagh konya ayee, phir achaanak usne bera pata ki maajra ke se aer hanste hue bolya,"Aare bawli booch waa baat na se, darsal meri gharaali es daaru ki lat se tang aa chuki thee, es tayeen manne eeb peena chood diya se!"
