Once, Sheikh Chilli’s mother sent him to a tailor’s shop to fetch some clothes. She told him to look straight and walk on the main road, to reach the tailor’s shop. Sheikh kept on looking straight and walked on. Eventually, he banged against a tree and realised that he was lost. Rubbing his forehead, Sheikh looked around and saw that he was in a field. He thought of climbing up the tree to look for the road. From the top of the tree, Sheikh saw the road but while climbing down, he lost his balance and hung from a branch. Right under him was a deep well. He could see the shining sun in the water of the well. Instead of crying or shouting, Sheikh started dreaming. He dreamt that he was a king riding a huge swaying elephant. This was Sheikh Chilli, a daydreamer at heart, who could dream in dangerous situations too! Shortly, some villagers passing by, rescued him and helped him reach the tailor.
