One morning, god, getting up from bed, washed his face and called for people. No one responded even after his calling twice or thrice. Then, remembering the fact of cutting down establishment due to lack of cash flows, he sat quiet. A little later, a peon entered. Noticing him, god asked….

“Is it from the world of mortals?”

“Yes, your honor.”

“What news?”

“Everything is fine! Man is spending half of his life in learning, and the remaining half in knowing what he learnt thus far is untrue…,” said the peon.

“Good, which means, there is no immediate trouble to us! For a few more days we shall have no dearth of food…,” said god gleefully.
