The people of a small village were simple and polite. Their goodness and hospitality were known far and wide. There lived a wise man in the same village. People listened to his advice, but did not follow it. were
When a thug heard about them, he arrived in that village in a very bad condition and told the people a false story of his robbery.
These people sympathized with him and arranged for him to stay in a house.
After a few days, the thug said to the villagers: "Give me an axe. I will cut wood for my living. I don't like being a burden on you people."
The people happily agreed and gave him an axe.


He took the ax and walked towards the forest.

The whole day he sat there under a tree and in the evening he returned empty-handed with an ax. People were very surprised and asked why he returned empty-handed. Was there no dry tree found?
The thug said that there were many trees, but when I started to cut a tree, this tree said to me: "Don't cut me. I will give you a lot of wealth. I agreed, so the tree told me the recipe that if you Put some money with my hollow trunk and the next morning your money will be doubled.

I sat there all day thinking that nothing can be said about the truth or falsity of a tree until it is tried.”
People believed him according to their habit. They asked him: "Why didn't you try?"
The thug said: "You all know that I am a robbed traveler. Well, where do I have the money? Since you are my benefactors, I am telling you this trick, so that you can get something in return for your favors." So I can get off.

People appreciated his sincerity and decided to try this recipe.
A wise man of the village explained to the villagers, but if they did not obey, he left the people to their fate. The people collected some money together and kept it near the trunk of the said tree. At night, the same traveler there. He went and counted the money and kept the same amount with him.
When the people went there the next morning, the amount had actually doubled.
He was very happy to see this and at the request of the traveler, he left all that money there, so that the amount would be doubled again this time.
Meanwhile, the wise man was very surprised and wondered how this could happen! After much thought, he realized that this traveler was a thug. As soon as this thought came to him, he hid in the bushes near that tree in the evening. When it got dark, the same thug, who was in the form of a passenger, came hiding and kept the same amount of money.

Seeing this, the wise man laughed heartily. After the thug returned, he also came home with quick steps. The next morning, the people again found double the money there. Now they were sure that this man was telling the truth. And this tree is a miraculous tree.
The thug said to them: "If you people put a lot of wealth here, you will become the richest people in the world. People got greedy and by evening the wealth of the whole village was piled up there, but the wise person this time He also did not add his money and started thinking about something.

As the shadows of the evening fell, the wise man reached there and quickly filled all the money in sacks and hid it near a stream and made a bundle by filling small stones in a sheet and placed it there. The thug came happily at night. He understood that today people have tied all their money in chadar.

He picked up the bale and went away. When the wise man was sure that he would not come again as a deceiver, he also returned home.

The next morning when the people arrived happily, the money was missing. Everyone was left banging their heads. They came to the thug's hideout, but he was not there either. They searched for him till evening, but he was not found. The thug kept walking all night, so as to be out of reach of the villagers. After going far enough, he stopped at one place when he opened the bale and saw that it contained stones instead of money.

He staggered. He realized that the wise man had somehow figured out his deception and had taken advantage of the opportunity, but if he went back now, they would rather believe him. Repairing, so he thought it was safe to run away.
On the other hand, when the people in the village were quite upset, the wise man told them the whole incident and returned their money, which was doubled. The people were very happy and from then on they not only respected him. Instead, they started doing everything with his advice. The thug who came to rob the people of this village, himself was robbed.
