Sheikh and Lallan were once busy playing a weightlifting game. Lallan challenged Sheikh to lift a heavy stove and climb up a tree. Sheikh agreed. In the night, they slipped into a sweetmaker’s house and Sheikh picked up the heavy stove. The challenge was not over yet. The two friends walked towards a nearby field. Sheikh tied long rope around the stove and tied it on his back. He then slowly climbed up a tree. Suddenly, they heard two horsemen galloping towards the same tree. They were carrying two huge sacks. Lallan quickly climbed up another tree and whispered, “They are bandits. Be careful and keep quiet.” But Sheikh was so lost in the happiness of winning the challenge that he exclaimed, “Hurray!” Unfortunately, the rope loosened and the stove fell on the bandits. They got extremely frightened and ran away leaving the sacks. Sheikh and Lallan checked the sacks. They were full of jewels! They handed over the jewels to the king and were rewarded handsomely.
