Once, Sheikh Chilli was invited by his mother’s sister. He was warmly greeted and then lavish dinner was served. At night, he was made to sleep on a comfortable bed. Then Sheikh saw a pot hanging over his bed. He got curious and took his stick to shake the pot. While shaking the pot, it cracked by mistake and drops of honey started dripping from it, slowly. Since Sheikh was sitting under the pot, the honey fell on him and soon he became sticky. The more he wiped the honey, the more it spread. Sheikh got up to look for something to clean himself. He found a heap of cotton in the adjoining room. He jumped on that heap and tried wiping off the honey. But poor Sheikh, instead of getting rid of honey, got covered with cotton. His aunt’s daughter, who woke up to drink water, saw the cotton-covered Sheikh and started shouting, “Ghost, ghost!” Sheikh laughed loudly, as he thought that finally someone was scared of him, “Ha-ha-ha, I am a ghost!”
