Story 09 Cut coat tails
PARAMAHAṀSA: What does… What does that mean?
PRABHUPĀDA: No, veri means lamb, sheep.
Their walks… If you can push one of them in the slaughterhouse, all of them enter.
This is called veriya dāsan.
You haven’t got to endeavor to push others.
You just push one only, and “Fut, fut, fut, fut, fut, fut, fut;” they all enter.
In Hindi it is called veriya dāsan.
Just cheat one veri, and all others will be followers.
[break] Long ago, when we were boys, we saw one comic cinema.
That old cinema player was…
His name was Max Linder.
Max Linder; so, this Max Linder was going to a ball dance,
and he was waiting in the park, and the ball dance coat, you know?
It has got a tail.
So he was sitting in a bench,
and some naughty boys came and they nailed the tailing part.
So when he got up it became torn, like…
So his, this hip was visible.
So when he was dancing in the ball others were seeing his, “What is this?”
So he went to the mirror, he saw, “Oh?”
So he began to dance and show everyone like this.
So others said, “What is this?”
“This is the latest fashion.
This is the latest fashion in ball dancing.”
“Oh?”
Then all cut their tail coat.
