One day Senaka invited his
mother over to dinner. During the meal his mother could`nt help noticing how attractive and shapely the new housemaid was. She started to wonder if there was more between Senaka and the housemaid than met the eye.
About a week later, the housemaid came to Senaka and said ever since your mother came to dinner, I`ve been unable to find the Polkatu handa. You don`t suppose she took it, do you?
Seneka said well I doubt it but I`ll write her a letter just to be sure So he sat down and wrote
Dear Amma,
I`m not saying that you took a polkatu handa from my house and I`m not saying you didn`t take a handa, but the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Love
Senaka Putha
Several days later, Senaka received a letter from his mother, which said:
Dear Putha,
I`m not saying that you do sleep with your housemaid, and I`m not saying that you do not sleep with your housemaid, but the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the Polkatu handa under her pillow, by now.
Love
Amma
