Sheikh Chilli was gifted a mule by his maternal grandfather who wanted Sheikh to start doing some work. Sheikh would be able to earn some money by carrying loads for people. Once, while carrying somebody’s load, Sheikh fell asleep on the side of the road, while he was resting. The load was stolen from the mule, while Sheikh slept peacefully. He was shocked to see no load when he woke up. He looked around frantically, but did not find it anywhere. He found a comb where the load had been. He went to the man whose load he had been given to carry and gave him the comb of the thieves. The surprised man asked Sheikh what that was. Sheikh then told him about the thieves and his stolen load. The angry man demanded to know why Sheikh had not tried to catch the thieves. Silly Sheikh answered with a smug smile, “The thieves will definitely come back for their comb. You can ask them to pay you then.”
