Sheikh Chilli was about to enjoy his train journey as a grown-up boy. He was told that there were three categories of tickets–first class, second class and third class. Third class was the cheapest fare. Sheikh bought a ticket and boarded the train. He showed his ticket to the ticket checker, who asked for more money as Sheikh was sitting in the first class compartment with a third class ticket. Sheikh demanded to know about the difference between the two classes. The checker told him that the first class had cushioned seats whereas the third class had wooden seats. Quickly, Sheikh tore off the cushion from his seat and sat down happily, saying, “Now I can sit here. This is a third class seat.” The ticket checker shouted angrily, “Now you have to pay more money for the damaged cushion, too!” He called the police at the next station and they carried Sheikh forcibly to the third class bogey.
