Explore "What Happened" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Hurree Chunder Mookerjee, pride of Bow Bazaar, / Owner of a native press, "Barrishter-at-Lar," / Waited on the Government with a claim to wear / Sabres by the bucketful, rifles by the pair.
Then the Indian Government winked a wicked wink, / Said to Chunder Mookerjee: "Stick to pen and ink. / They are safer implements, but, if you insist, / We will let you carry arms wheresoe'er you list."
