One day Kuttappan's dad bought a robot. The robot was special in that it could detect a lie and would slap the person who lied on the face.
Kuttappan returned late from school that day, and his dad asked him, "Son, why are you late from school?".
Kuttappan answered, "Dad, we had extra classes today".
Much to his astonishment, the robot jumped up and slapped Kuttappan on his face. His dad told him, "Mone (son), This robot is special in that he can detect a lie and will then slap the person who lied. Now come on, tell me the truth, why are you late?".
"Dad, I went for a movie", "Which movie?", "The Ten Commandments". Splatt! Kuttappan got a tight slap on the face from the robot.
"No dad, honestly, I went for the movie Sex Queen".
"Shame on you, son. When I was your age, I never used to do such shameful things." Splatt, the dad gets a tight slap on the face from the robot.
Hearing all this, Kuttappan's mother comes walking out of the kitchen saying, "Athu pinne enginnenaa, ningalude monealle?" (After all, he is your son, he will be like you), to which the robot steps up and gives a resounding slap on Kuttappan's mother's face.
Don't ask what the moral of the story is?
