One day Sheikh Chilli met Babban, a farmer, on his way home. Babban had something in his hand which made Sheikh curious. So, he asked Babban what it was. Babban thought of making fun of Sheikh and said, “Oh Sheikh, you are smart; why don’t you tell me what I am holding in my hand?” Swelling with pride, Sheikh said, “Let me think. OK; give me some hint.” “A yellow yolk in the middle, white jelly like thing all around the yolk and a white shell as a covering,” Babban gave the clues. Sheikh racked his brain and exclaimed, “I know! You have a mango in your hand. It is surrounded by curd and kept in a white pot.” Babban said, “That was very clever, Sheikh!” and he went away laughing at Sheikh’s stupidity. Sheikh wondered why Babban would put a mango with curd in a white pot! He also laughed at Babban, thinking about his stupidity.
