Kanjusmal was rich but he was a miser. He spent very little money. He ate very cheap food. કંજુસમાલ અમીર હતો પણ તે કંજૂસ હતો. તે ખૂબ જ ઓછા પૈસા ખર્ચતો હતો. તે ખૂબ જ સસ્તું ખાવાનું ખાતો હતો.
His watchman lived in a hut near his gate. The watchman liked Methi Pakoda. So his wife made Methi Pakoda everyday. તેનો ચોકીદાર તેના ગેટ પાસે એક ઝૂંપડીમાં રહેતો હતો. ચોકીદારને મેથીના પકોડા બહુ ભાવતા હતા. તેથી તેની પત્ની રોજ મેથીના પકોડા બનાવતી હતી.
One day the miser passed by the hut. He caught the smell of Methi Pakoda. He liked it very much. એક દિવસ કંજૂસ ઝૂંપડી પાસેથી પસાર થયો. તેને મેથીના પકોડાની સુગંધ આવી. તેને તે ખૂબ જ ગમી.
Kanjusmal said to the watchman, "I smell something good. What is it?" કંજુસમાલે ચોકીદારને કહ્યું, "મને કંઈક સરસ સુગંધ આવી રહી છે. તે શું છે?"
The watchman replied, "It is Methi Pakoda." ચોકીદારે જવાબ આપ્યો, "તે મેથીના પકોડા છે."
Kanjusmal said, "Please cook it everyday. I like its smell." So the watchman and his wife made it everyday. કંજુસમાલે કહ્યું, "મહેરબાની કરીને તે રોજ બનાવજો. મને તેની સુગંધ ગમે છે." તેથી ચોકીદાર અને તેની પત્ની તે રોજ બનાવતા હતા.
One day they went to Kanjusmal and said, "Sir, you like the smell of Methi Pakoda. So we cook it everyday. But Methi Pakoda is not cheap. We spend a lot of money on oil and besan. Please help us with some money." એક દિવસ તેઓ કંજુસમાલ પાસે ગયા અને કહ્યું, "સાહેબ, તમને મેથીના પકોડાની સુગંધ ગમે છે, તેથી અમે તે રોજ બનાવીએ છીએ. પરંતુ મેથીના પકોડા સસ્તા નથી હોતા. અમે તેલ અને ચણાના લોટ (બેસન) પર ઘણો ખર્ચ કરીએ છીએ. મહેરબાની કરીને અમને થોડા પૈસાની મદદ કરો."
Kanjusmal went inside and shut the door. He took some silver coins and dropped them one by one on the floor. કંજુસમાલ અંદર ગયો અને દરવાજો બંધ કરી દીધો. તેણે ચાંદીના કેટલાક સિક્કા લીધા અને તેમને એક પછી એક ભોંયતળિયે (જમીન પર) ફેંક્યા.
Then the miser came out and said, "Did you hear the sound of the silver coins?" પછી કંજૂસ બહાર આવ્યો અને બોલ્યો, "શું તમે ચાંદીના સિક્કાઓનો અવાજ સાંભળ્યો?"
"Yes, sir, we did", they said. "હા, સાહેબ, અમે સાંભળ્યો," તેમણે કહ્યું.
"Did you enjoy it?" "Yes sir, very much." "શું તમને તેમાં મજા આવી?" "હા સાહેબ, ખૂબ જ મજા આવી."
The miser said, "I enjoyed the smell of your Methi Pakoda. You enjoyed the sound of my money. I will not ask you to give me Methi Pakoda. And you don't ask for my money. That is a deal. Now go away and prepare Methi Pakoda." કંજૂસે કહ્યું, "મેં તમારા મેથીના પકોડાની સુગંધની મજા લીધી. તમે મારા પૈસાના અવાજની મજા લીધી. હું તમને મેથીના પકોડા આપવા માટે નહીં કહું, અને તમે મારી પાસે પૈસા ન માંગતા. આ આપણો સોદો (deal) છે. હવે અહીંથી જાઓ અને મેથીના પકોડા બનાવો."
