Bhakta Burfi Wins the Book Marathon
By Gaurangi dasi
(kwa-Zulu -Natal, South Africa)

Bhaka Burfi surprised everyone when he won the book marathon. He was not the most charming of devotees, nor was he very articulate. In fact, he had quite an embarrassing stutter when he had to speak with strangers. Confused, his far more qualified competitors wondered how he had done it! Thinking that he must have cheated in some way, they secretly followed him. He walked up to a house, knocked on the door and when it was answered, he chanted his winning mantra. "Hare Krishna, I..I am d..distrib...buting th...this 12-v...v...volume s..s..set of Srim..m..mad Bhag..g..gav..v.vatam, it.t.t.t is a little exp..p..pensive, b..b..but it is m..m..more imp..p..port..tant t..t..to me that y..y..you get the m..m..message. S..s..s..so if y..y..you can't af..f..ford it, I'll b..b..be hap..p..ppy to r..r..read the entire tw..tw..twelve volumes for f..f..free...." Of course, he sold the set!
