Sheikh Chilli’s new master used to load him with lots of work. He was supposed to take care of the cattle in the day, prepare food and play with the master’s son. By night, Sheikh used to become so exhausted that he would fall into bed and sleep immediately. One day, the master asked Sheikh to sleep in the kid’s room. That night, Sheikh dreamt of sitting on an elephant as a prince. He was enjoying his dream, when the child started crying. Sheikh got disturbed and angrily asked, “What’s the matter? How dare you disturb the prince?” The kid said he was hungry. He asked Sheikh to get him something to eat. Sheikh was very annoyed, so he thought of scaring the kid. He said, “Have you seen a ghost? Let me show you. It is sitting near the window; come, come…” The child ran away and clung to his father. Sheikh happily went back to sleep in order to dream about being a prince. In the morning, as usual, he lost his job!
