One day sheikh chilli was seating when his mother said, "Sheikhu.
You know that your marriage was fixed when you were small."
"Uh!" smiled sheikh shyly.
"The girl's parents have called you," said his mother. Sheikh
blushed.
His mother continued smilingly, "Come on sheikh. Why are you
saying? You are not the bride."
Though she joked with him, his mother was worried about sheikh. She
knew that he was very stupid.
She was afraid that if the parents of the girl came to know that he was
really stupid, then the marriage could be called off. But now sheikh had to go
to the girl's house as they had invited him.
So she instructed him to act clever and matures in the girl's house.
Then sheikh left home and started his journey to the village where the
girl and her parents lived.
On the way, he saw some juicy berries. His mouth began to water seeing
the juicy berries, so he started eating them one after the other. He was so
busy them one after the other. He was so busy many ants in the bushes.
The ants crawled inside his clothes and started biting him. He felt
very itchy.
Sheikh jumped up and down trying to scratch all over his body. Then he
took off his clothes because he couldn't tolerate the itch any longer.
Suddenly he remembered that he had to reach his in-law's house, so he
began to run.
On the way, he realized that he had forgotten to wear his clothes, but
it was too late.
Some soldiers saw him and caught him. They asked him why he was without
clothes.
Sheikh told them about the ants. The soldiers searched his bag and
found that he had afresh set of clothes with him. They asked him why he had not
worn them.
Sheikh explained, "I was looking for a bush or tree, but couldn't
find one. I am not so shameless as to dress in the open."
The soldiers stared at him and wondered at his stupidity, as he was
already without clothes.
After that they did not let him go to his in-law's village but took him
back home. They handed him to his mother after telling her what had happened.
His mother started crying at the foolishness of Sheikh Chilli.
