Engine Trouble by R.K. Narayan - 1.3


The Engine Trouble is a short story by R. K Narayan, a writer from Madras. 

Engine Trouble is the story of a man who won a road engine in a fair/ exhibition lottery.

 

The exhibition got over and he was asked to remove it from the Municipality grounds.

 

Since he couldn't, he had to pay a rent of 10 rupees a month for keeping the road engine.

 

After three months, he decided to move the engine to a friend's field.


He hired an elephant and fifty coolies to push it there.

 

On the way it crashed into a compound wall of house and destroyed it.

 

In the end, he decided to sell it for scrap metal.
