Sheikh was carrying a lot of groceries and a kilo of mutton, in both his hands. While he was more than halfway home, he realised that he had forgotten to buy oil and spices. He kept the groceries and the bag of mutton on the street and started thinking what to do. Suddenly, an eagle flew down and snatched away one large chunk of mutton from the bag. Sheikh was thrilled. He started cheering the eagle, “Great! Take away all the mutton chunks one by one and kindly give them to my wife. My house is at the end of this street.” Soon, the eagle took away all the mutton. Sheikh happily went back to the market and bought oil and spices. He reached home with groceries, oil and spices. He gave all the items to his mother. His mother and wife, Fawzia, asked him, “Where’s the mutton?” Sheikh said, “I sent all the mutton through an eagle. See how smart I am! Hasn’t it delivered?” Fawzia and his mother were shocked. They did not even know how to react!
