Uncle Baset had been living for a while in the small town nearby the sea. He was close to several native families including the Rahman family. One day while kids were at school, Uncle Baset got big prawns from the market and excitedly called an impromptu party at his home place. He did not have an estimate of how many people could feed on those prawns and they fell short at the party. The party turned out to be hilarious and embarrassing.
In order to save the old man (Baset by name) and his wife, young wives started cooking rice, chicken and eggs and treated those to their hungry children and others who fell short of the prawns.
In fact, eventually it turned out to be a great gathering and soon disappointment and resentment found their way to merrymaking and
laughter.
