Food story but not related to quick and easy paneer recipes, favorite paneer dish
This story is absolutely different from the content of this post but still, it is a story about food. It was interesting. I have some lotus plants in a bucket size pond and since last couples of days, I used to see some food inside that bucket which is actually full of water. Those foods are basically small pieces of biscuits, bread or rotis. Mostly it was roti. I thought anybody used to come and threw those foods into that bucket. Sometime I even saw some torn leaves which were spread here and there. Plants were small and just two months old. So I was a little worried. It was also quite shocking.
But yesterday I came to know the factual story behind this and I just laughed loudly. The culprit of this story was a poor crow who used to get some foods from somewhere but those are hard and not eatable. So that crow applied its intelligence and came to that bucket and dipped foods into the water and ate. Happy ending. 🙂
