यह कहानी बुद्धी और रोमांच से भरा हुआ है। यह कहानी एक मिशनी के बारे में है, जिसे एक मजाकिया आदमी नानुकाका के द्वारा पूरा किया गया है। इस कहानी में लेखक ने अपने मामा नानुकाका के चरित्र की व्याख्या की है, जो हमेशा झूठ बोलते हैं।

Nanukaka arrives at the house of the author who is an Under-Secretary on probation under the minister. The auhor does not like Nanukaka. Nanukaka had come to the author’s house to meet a minister.
नानुकाका लेखक के घर आते हैं, जो मंत्री के यहाँ परीवीक्षा पर एक अवर-सविच हैं। लेखक नानुकाका को पसंद नहीं करते हैं। नानुकाका लेखक के घर मंत्री से मिलने के लिए आए थे।

Nanukaka was to meet the minister within three days. The author did not have enough access to meet Nanukaka with the minister. The author’s house was in Delhi.
नानुकाका को तीन दिनों के अंदर मंत्री से मिलना था। लेखक के पास इतनी पहुँच नहीं थी कि वह मंत्री से नानुकाका को मिला दे। लेखक का घर दिल्ली में था।

Nanukaka made a plan to meet the minister. He hired a Royal car and made the writer a driver and went to meet the minister. When Nanukaka reached the minister’s house, the minister was not there.
नानुकाका ने मंत्री से मिलने के लिए एक प्लान बनाया। उसने एक रॉयल कार को भाड़े पर लेकर लेखक को ड्राइवर बनाकर, मंत्री से मिलने के लिए चल दिए। जब नानुकाका मंत्री के घर पहुँचे, तो मंत्री वहाँ नहीं था।

Nanukaka told the minister’s secretary that I am the hereditary pandit of a princely state Ninnore.  After that Nanukaka gave the address of the author’s house and came to the author’s house. The next day, in the morning, the writer was drinking tea, when the minister’s car came to a halt at the writer’s door.
नानुकाका ने मंत्री के सेकरेटरी से कहा कि मैं नाइनौर के राज्य के अनुवंशिक पूरोहित (ज्‍योतिष) हुँ। उसके बाद नानुकाका लेखक के घर का पता दे दिया और लेखक के घर आ गए। अगले दिन, सुबह में लेखक चाय ही पी रहे थे, कि इतने में मंत्री की गाड़ी लेखक के दरवाजे पर आकर खड़ी हो जाती है।

Nanukaka meets the welfare minister. Nanukaka left the following day Thus, Nanukaka’s mission is completed.
