The Gateman's Gift by R K Narayan

Govind Singh was an ex-serviceman. He was appointed as gatekeeper at an English Company. He loved his job and made sure that he gave a stiff salute every time the Sahib passed by. He served the company for 25 years without a mistake. Soon he was to retire and was offered a pension. In his retirement days, Govind Singh made amazing clay dolls. The interest in his hobby got better every day. So every time he went to collect his pension, he gifted one of his clay creations to his Sahib. One day, Govind Singh received a registered letter. He shivered with fear. What if the letter called out his doom? What if his pension was going to be stopped? What if ...? What if he had angered the Sahib with his clay creations? Listen to this audio piece to know what was in that letter that drove Govind Singh to insanity.
