“I said a hundred.” What was each one talking about? Explain the humour in
this conversation


FROM HORSE AND TWO GOATS​

Answer 1

Muni was asking the red man about his children, if any. The red man did not understand Muni. He assumed that Muni was the owner of the statue, so he offered him hundred rupees for it.

The humour here arises out of each ones inability to understand the other. They seemed to be conversing, but in reality, they are talking about entirely unrelated subjects.

Answer 2

The red faced man was talking about the cost of the horse he was willing to buy in ₹100, but Muni thought that he is telling that he has 100 children. The humour is in the conversation arose about the number 100. The humour here also arises out of each one's inability to understand each other. they seemed to be conversing, but in reality, they are talking about entirely unrelated topics.
