Santa was on the hot seat on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’ and had reached up to fifty lakhs against his own expectations. He was at a stage where if he didn’t reply correctly, he would come down to mere five lakhs and he had only one life line left-PHONE-A-FRIEND. The question was tough:
“Name the bird that lays its eggs in the nest of other birds, not its own?”
Options are: a) sparrow b) crow c)cuckoo d)eagle.
Santa didn’t know the answer. He had only one option: phone-a-friend. So he called his friend Banta. Banta listened to Santa and instantly replied: “Its cuckoo. Go ahead don’t give it a second thought.”
Santa was impressed with Banta’s confidence but still doubtful, he said: “c) cuckoo.”
The hall erupted. The answer was right. Santa had won the coveted amount. Later, still surprised, he asked Banta: “How is it that you had the correct answer so quick?”
Banta: “You are a fool. Haven’t you seen cuckoo clocks? That's where they live.”
