Stay well for a month.

When Sadhu was a child, he was not allowed to ride a bicycle, but if he rode in the middle of the road, he would be arrested. The colonial rulers argued that bicycles were slow vehicles, and if they rode in the middle of the road, they would be a nuisance to cars and trams coming after them. Therefore, he rode on the side of the road. (He said that he was safe.)

Later, the carrier also arrested people riding on the platform for small items. They also arrested people carrying large items such as kerosene tanks. They argued that if there was an accident, two people would be injured, and even if there was a small item, the bike would be out of control and there was a greater risk of a fall.

If you don't have a bell (small horn), you're also caught. The reason is that if you hit a child or the elderly while riding a bicycle at high speed, it can kill them. Even a strong person can be injured or broken. Therefore, it is said that a bell, bell, or horn must be equipped with a sound device to warn the person in front.

If it gets dark at night and there is no light, they will arrest you. They say that even a small cart or a cart with a light at night will be visible to cars and trains coming from afar. They will be able to avoid you. (For example, if a bicycle is painted black, and a person with dark skin wears a black shirt and black pants and rides a bicycle at night, they will not be able to see you at all within fifty feet, and they may be hit.) If you are caught and taken to court for such cases, you will be fined one or two kyats, etc.

At that time, his life as a slave was not free, but he was arrested until he saw the police riding a bicycle without lights at night and getting off and pushing them away. Not only after midnight, but until dawn, the police were on duty, one here, two there. The police would often come out of nowhere when the whistle sounded and the emergency police would sound.

Sadhu was very fond of comedy when he was young. He was very fond of clowns. He would go to see comedians like Dan Pauk, Nang Gyi, Gas, Kya San, Ko Kyeng Khe, Ko Patikkhaya, Ko Hot, and Ko Special, even if they were ten miles away.

One night, because he knew how to dance at the Anein Kyee Myin Daing, a dance hall with a drum and a drumstick, Sadhu, who lived near Thein Kyi Market, rode his bicycle to watch the performance in the late evening. At that time, Anein Kyee Myin was not free, and due to health reasons, they were only allowed to dance from 6:30 pm to 12 am.

Therefore, I had been standing by the stage since 5 o'clock to watch the match, and I returned on my bike at 12 o'clock after the match. I still had my eyes on the police.

As soon as he reached the top of Latta Road (now Latha Road), a Punjabi policeman emerged from the shadows and grabbed him and took him to the police station. He was then offered six paise, which was the equivalent of two cups of tea, but he refused, perhaps because it was too little.

When they arrived at the police station, they asked for their name and address. They instructed them to go to the office of the Chief of Police at 10 a.m. the next day and then let them go.

When I arrived at the office on the appointed day, the third name was Sadhu, and the gentleman who had caught my eye was...

"Have you arrived again?"

This question has been asked no less than four times. For example, he often goes to the office by kicking a ball in the middle of the road, by riding a bicycle with two people, by not having a light, by digging a hole in the asphalt road to set up a pavilion during Thingyan, and (with the restrictions of his servitude) by coming to the office frequently.

"Yes..."

The gentleman of integrity, U Bai Myar, was a good man. As soon as he answered his question, he

"Okay... a fine of two kyats..."

"Yes..."

"What's wrong? It's not over yet. You've been committing crimes many times, and you've been arrested three times for riding your bike without lights. Why don't you turn on the lights?"

"Because I don't have money to buy it"

"If you can't afford to buy a light, don't drive at night."

"I only ride when it's important"

"What's so important about the sunset?"

"I'm just going to take a look"

"Is it important to look calm?"

"Yes, it's really funny to make fun of people, because laughing is healthy."

“Okay, I’ll give you a fine of two kyats, and you must not return to this office within a month, do you understand? This is a punishment that requires you to be in good health for a month.”

Sadhu said nothing more and handed over the fine of two kyats. It was a receipt. Since he had never heard of the final punishment, he wanted to know more clearly, so he walked over to U Bai Myar and...

“I don’t know, let me ask you, Ma Mu. Since you have to live well for a month, what if this month is longer?”

"He's a very naughty boy, go... go," he said, laughing and shooing Sadhu away.
