Uduravana's friend is driving down the Kandy road, when he spotsUduravana standing in the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and notices that Udurawana is juststanding there, doing nothing, looking at nothing. Uduravana's friend gets out of the car, walks all the way out to Udurawanaand asks him, "Excuse me, what are you doing?" Udurawana replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize." "How?" asks hisfriend, puzzled. "Well I heard they give the Noble Prize to peoplewho are out standing in their field."

Mileage problem

Uduravana had an old car which had run for over a 1,00,000 kilometres. He wanted to sell it, but was not getting a good price because of its excess mileage. He approached a friend of his andasked for help. He gave him an address in Colombo and askedhim to visit a mechanic there. The mechanic would adjust the meter so that it shows only 30,000 kilometres. Uduravana thanked him and left for Colombo. For a few days, his friend didn't see Uduravana. He assumed thatUduravana would have sold the car. A few weeks later, Uduravana came to see his friend in the same car. His friend was surprisedand asked - "W hat happened? Why have you not sold your caryet?" Uduravana replied - "Why should I? It has run for only 30,000 kilometres."
