Wisdom of A Money Lander
In a small
hill town there lived a thief. He was very smart and before breaking into
houses for theft he used to enquire about the lifestyles of the people staying
in the house. Then at the dead of night he used to commit theft.
Dhanpatrai
was a moneylender living in the same town. He was thrifty and never wasted
money. He had a daughter named Laxmi. The thief knew that Dhanpatrai was rich
and he had a lot of jewelry with him. Smartly the thief found out the location
of the house and designed the theft. One night, getting up to the roof of the house
he started removing the roof covering made of earthen tiles.
The
moneylender heard the sound and was sure that a thief was on the roof of the
house. Now he had to create some ploy. He hit upon a plan. “Laxmi, Laxmi” He
called out to his daughter who was sleeping, “Laxmi, I hope our money-box and jewelry
are kept in the ceiling,” he asked cleverly.
Generally,
in hill area, to keep house warm in winter, houses have a thatched roofing and
below that, a wooden ceiling certain things used to be kept in the space
between the roofing and wooden ceiling. So he jumped down.
But actually
in the house there was no wooden ceiling. So the thief fell to the floor of the
house which was about fifteen feet below and broke his leg.
Immediately
the moneylender called all the neighbors and they handed over the thief to the
police. He saved his house from being burgled, with his ingenuity.
