One day Senaka invited his mother over to dinner. During the meal his
mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the new
housemaid
was. She started to wonder if there was more between Senaka and the
housemaid that met her 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?" Senaka said "well, I doubt it, but
I'll
write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote.
Dear Mum,
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,
Your son Senaka.
Several days later, Senaka received a letter from his mother, which
said,
Dear son Senaka,
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,
Mum.
