Once there lived a potter in the village of Rampur. His name was Ramachandra Sree Guru Bhagwandas Gupta. The villagers found it very difficult to call him because of his long name. And the potter did not like his name to be shortened. He would not reply to people who shortened his name. The villagers were in a dilemma.
Around this time a boy called Naren came to the village to see his grandparents. Since he was from the big city, the villagers asked him if he could find a solution to the problem. Naren went to see the potter. Now the potter had a long beard and a very big moustache. In fact, his face was almost covered with hair. All of a sudden, an idea struck Naren.

Then Naren asked him to imagine how the villagers felt when he asked them to call by that long name. Thereafter the potter realised his mistake and requested the villagers to call him Mr. Potter.
