He tuned up immediately at the heaven's doorstep with a certificate not signed and left blank by our pelican.
It was soon checked to see whether it was authentic and was found to be a true copy given by our pelican.
He had to stay till pelican returned from earth from his routine rounds for further verification.
In the meantime the Maha's Assistant let him sort out the mail and the documents for the next round of delivery.
His demeanor was very appealing to him and asked the yes man whether he could be an assistant to him for three or four days till pelican returns.
True to his nature he said yes, yes.
Eventually pelican returned and when he was asked whether he knew about the yes man.
Or Yes he is my yes man and when I asked him whether he is ready to die without any hesitation he said yes and that was why he had to abruptly stop his training in mid air.
Given some training he could fly any plane anywhere with at least three more pilots provided that he does not manipulate the flying gear but coordinate his actions with the air hostesses at the rear at meal times was his reply,
With this recommendation Maha's Assistant was very impressed.
When Maha gave a call from vacation to ask how the things are at heaven, assistant told him the story of the yes man and asked whether he could take some leave and appoint the yes man in his absence.
Maha asked why not leave altogether and return to earth and learn some tricks from Paraya dogs so that you can follow suit just like the clever Paraya dog who attained Nibbana with no entry request.
Besides. you have been very helpful to me and this is the longest vacation I have had in all my life and you have found a suitable candidate to take your reins, I have no more questions from you and said Good Bye and Good Luck till we see again from earth may be in about 15 years time.
Our pedigree dog turned Maha's Assistant soon afterward call our yes man and asked him whether he is ready to take over.
He promptly said yes.
Just before he left he told him, you are Maha's Assistant and nothing more.
I knew it from the very beginning Sir he said.
How come?
You never took responsibility and let others take responsibility of your actions and that is the type of job I was looking forward and comfortable.
I could never take responsibility on earth and neither in heaven too, he said.
You are too good to be here and this arrangement is mutual and when you do come back here I will say yes to anything you ask including the job back.
No dear, I now have a better strategy than that but I have to learn the finer points from a Paraya dog.
The last Paraya dog whom I met was so clever before I could ask any help he was gone with the wind.
I have to meet some of his relatives in Sri-Lanka and will be back soon in about 15 years.
Till then Good Bye.
As he went he heard somebody saying Yes Sir!
