This incident was shared by a distant aunt.
My aunt had gone to Tashigang with a group of people and
they were returning home. Since it was a long journey (in the mid 80s when the
motor vehicle were not readily available) on foot they had decided to rest for
the night in a cave not far from the main path. They had lighted a makeshift
oven and cooked their evening meal and were taking rest before their dinner
when they saw a man coming their way. The man (Meme Kota) asked for shelter for
the night in their cave and they agreed to let him stay with them in the cave.
After sometime, they saw a woman walk by and meme Kota
called out “Abi, why don’t you ask for shelter with these kind souls? The way
is long and it is getting dark.” The woman agreed and stayed. It was later
during the dinner that my aunt and her friends learned that the woman was Meme
Kota’s wife and he had tricked them into giving shelter to both of them.
Note@I never met this Person but his tales never
cease to bring laughter whenever recollected.
