Sheikh Chilli would get angry over trivial matters. The children in his area used to tease him and call him names. Some would even shout behind his back, “Long live the idiot!” Once, Sheikh caught hold of one boy and threw him into a dry well. When he told his wife what he had done, the shocked woman did not say anything to him. But after he had gone off to sleep, she went to the well and pulled out the boy. She then took the child to her brother’s place and requested him to keep the frightened boy there till he was better and drop him home in the morning. Then, she picked up a baby goat and threw it into the well. Next morning, Sheikh promptly told the boy’s parents that he had thrown their boy into the well. When the shocked parents ran to the well, they found a goat instead of their child. Meanwhile, the child had been dropped off at his house by Sheikh’s brother-in-law. But, poor Sheikh kept on wondering how the boy had turned into a goat!
