One night, Sheikh Chilli saw his friend Lallan, roaming in a nearby corn field. He thought of following him. Soon, Lallan entered Merchant Chajjoomal’s house. Sheikh hid behind a huge tree outside the house. He saw Lallan coming out carrying three big bulging sacks. They seemed to be heavy. While jumping out of the boundary wall, one sack slipped behind. But Lallan didn’t stop to pick it up. Sheikh thought of helping Lallan, so he picked the sack up and followed him. As they entered the field, they saw a few soldiers galloping towards them. Lallan quickly climbed up a near by tree. He saw Sheikh too, with a sack and told him to do the same. While Sheikh was halfway up, the soldiers had reached the tree. Poor Sheikh lost his balance in anxiety and tumbled down on the soldier standing below! Instead of helping Lallan, Sheikh ended up getting him caught and punished.
