Not Finished Yet




                            Ujickdot felt that he was already old. He thought that he would die soon. So, he asked for someone to make a grave for him. He promised to pay the man a certain amount of money when the work was finished.

                             During the work, Ujickdot protested many things about the grave. but, at last the man finished the grave making. He asked for the money Ujickdot had promised him.

                             Ujickdot said, "You cannot ask for the money now."

                             "Why? You said that you would pay me as soon as I finish the grave." asked the man.

                             "The grave is not complete yet," said Ujickdot.

                             "What else should I do to complete it. I've done everything," said the man angrily.

                             "It's not complete yet because the corpse is not there yet," answerd Ujickdot.
