Hard Money !
Mustafa was a hard working ,man he used to work in his farm all day long 24 -7-365 Whether it is summer winter or Rainy season,He has have a middle size piece of land but he used it for all season’s crops .He had have a small hut like house there ,in which he was living with his wife Razia there .He inherited the land and the house.He wanted to increase his work ,for that he need to buy a piece of land connected to his own land ,so he and his wife started saving money .Gradually the money they saved was a big amount and so they decided to convert it into gold so Mustafa went to the goldsmith,his wife Razia was not at home that time as she had gone to a marriage ceremony.Mustafa brought 12 Gold coins tied in a bag of small shaneel clothe and decided to hide under the ground.So he put the coins bag in a Brass Vessel ,while suddenly some body knocked the door,he went out and opened the door.It was his close friend Afroz,he was there to ask Mustafa for suggestion regarding farming ,So he went out with him.
His wife Razia came home,she had to cook food ,but she knew she didn’t have water,So she decided to go and fetch water from the well a little bit far from her house,she came out, luckily she saw Mehmood,who was a shepherd and used to help her,she asked him to bring water.
When Mehmood reached at the well,he saw the bag,he opened it and his eyes opened wide with surprise and greed,twelve gold coins were shining on his palm,he immediately tied it again and hid inside his turban ,fetch water,went to Razia handed over the vessel and turned around and moved fast without speaking any word.
He thought he must hide the coins ,so kept the coins in a small box locket covered with black rough cloth, stitched on the box and tied it with a string to his Goat’s neck.
Next morning he had to go to the town to attend the court ,as he was summoned as witness.He handed over the goat to his Son Rehan ,did not tell any thing about the locket and went.
Rehan hold the string and started walking towards home. A man named Wasim was coming asked him the price of the goat ,He doubled the rate so that the Wasim can’t buy but he was ready to buy ,Rehan happily handed over the string to him.Wasim went home with the goat ,suddenly he saw the locket,he opened it and his eyes opened wide ,he immediately hid the twelve coins in a hollow bamboo.
Mustafa and Razia were very sad ,while they heard some people were running out side ,both of them came out saw they were following Wasim as one week ago he stole all people’s common Community’s treasury Box,while running from those people he dropped the bamboo in Mustafa’s campus by mistake,After a minute Mustafa saw the Bamboo,he picked it up ,he felt something was clinking,he broke the bamboo and found back the coins,his hard money came back to him.
