Teacher left stunned by answer given by pupil

The music teacher of a school was in a pleasant mood as she arrived in school that day. She started where she had left off the previous day. The topic they were discussing was method of communication using music the world over.

To her question regarding the various forms of communication through music, her pupils began coming up with various modes of communication involving music. One quoted the bell rung by the postman when he arrived on his bicycle to deliver the post in the morning. The teacher seemed happy with that answer.

But with the example another pupil came up with brought ripples of laughter from the other pupils of the classroom. This pupil referred to the sound made by the van selling bakery products in order to attract customers, popularly known as “Choon Paan.’ The teacher pointed out that this was indeed another type of melodious sound made to attract peoples’ attention so that they would come and buy the bakery products from the vendor.

However, the pupil had not finished, and what he said brought howls of laughter from the other children in the class and made his music teacher’s face to flush red with embarrassment. He said, “No, no teacher, it is called “Choon Paan” because when the vendor sees the aunties in their early morning clothes running towards him he gets tuned on so much that it is called Choon Paan. The pupil attributed this finding to his tuition master.
