When Sri Lanka was under British rule they ordered everyone to do what they wanted. Sri Lankan people are very proud. So they hated the British. But they couldn't do anything because they had no power.
The British used to go hither and thither by bullock cart. But the Cart-man was Sinhalese. He used to say this:
"Jack, Jack, Mack, Mack!"
He called the bullock and told it off using an English person's name.
But the British people didn't understand it!
