Sheikh Chilli’s donkey was stolen by some thugs. One of the thugs took away the donkey, while the other thug fooled Sheikh by saying that he was Sheikh’s donkey Hatimtai, now turned into a man. He also said that his mother had cursed him to be a donkey because of his foolishness. Sheikh went back home and related the sad story to his own mother. She didn’t believe in the story, but gave Sheikh some money anyway, to buy a new donkey. So, Sheikh went to buy a donkey at the fair. His donkey was there, too, which recognized Sheikh and brayed in joy. Sheikh shouted at the donkey, “You rascal, Hatimtai! So, your mother has cursed you once again! Surely, you must have done something foolish. Now come back to me.” Everybody laughed heartily seeing Sheikh talking to a donkey. And poor Sheikh bought his own donkey again!
