This
man had been a gambler and had lost all his money in gambling. One day when he
needed money, he stole the king's necklace while the king was fast asleep in
his palace. When he was running away, he met two thieves who stopped him,
intending to rob him.
The
thieves tried to snatch the necklace from the gambler. They started beating him
when he resisted.
Then
suddenly a strange looking man came to help the gambler. He used his magical
powers to rescue him from the thieves.
The
thieves got scared and ran away, leaving the necklace.
The
gambler thanked the strange looking man for saving him.
The
man told the gambler that he had come to help him because of some good deeds he
had done in his life.
He
said, "You can keep the necklace with you. If you promise that you will
never gamble again, you will live for nine hundred years as the king of a
city." Saying this, the strange man suddenly disappeared.
After
this incident, the gambler stopped gambling and started leading a truthful
life.
He
made a huge house for himself and lived there. The people who were jealous of
him went to the king and asked his to inquire into the source of his wealth.
The
king called the man and asked him about his wealth. The man told the truth to
the king.
The
king was so impressed that instead of punishing him for stealing the necklace,
he rewarded him and made him the king of the city he was living in.
This
was the reason why the man had got it written on the wall of his house that
"Pleasure lies in speaking the
truth"
In
this way, Hatim solved the fourth puzzle.
He
went back to Husn Bano to tell her about it. She was overjoyed at Hatim's
success and admired his courage and intelligence.
