The problem is that he'd rather not pay for it.! This hilarious folktale from Gujarat follows miserly Bhikhubhai's desperate attempts to get himself a coconut — all free!

A laugh riot
The story starts with Bhikhubhai's heart craving for fresh, juicy, delicious, grated coconut but there is a small problem - he will have to part with a little money which he would rather not. He does not mind walking some extra distance if he could get a coconut at a little reduced price and what a blessing if he could get as many coconuts as he wants from the coconut grove itself - ALL FREE!!! Too good an offer to be actually true. href=" http://www.saffrontree.org/2010/03/all-free.html " target="_blank">Saffrontree.org
