Once, a man went to visit his in-laws and took his friend along with him. The in-laws greeted them warmly and served them tea. The friend ate a lot while the man did not eat much. But during the night, the man felt very hungry. He woke his friend up and both went to the kitchen. While both were eating the food, the father-in-law woke up. He came towards the kitchen. The friend quickly hid and the man too hid in a room full of cotton. When the father-in-law entered the room, the man ran out with cotton all over him. The father-in-law thought him to be a ghost and fainted. The man went to his room and changed his clothes. He came down as if he had woken up from sleep. Nobody suspected him and his friend had a hearty laugh.
