A tea party in honour of freedom fighters was in progress at Giani Zail Singh's house. Two other former Presidents, Neelam Sanjiva Reddy and R. Venkataraman were also present. Suddenly a group of terrorists took over the party. They lined up all the three former Presidents for execution.
As the firing squad got ready, Sanjiva Reddy yelled, "Earthquake!" and escaped in a commotion that followed.
The executioners got ready again, and as they took aim, Venkataraman shouted, "Flood!" and he too escaped in the confusion.
As the firing squad lined for the third time, Zail Singh decided to try the same idea and yelled, "Fire !!!!!"
