Sheikh Chilli was fond of gardening, so he approached a gardener and requested him that he wanted to become his assistant. The gardener agreed. He started giving small tasks to Sheikh as he wanted to train him properly. One day, he scolded Sheikh because he did not follow his instructions. He said, “Sheikh, I asked you to weed the farm; we have to sow new seeds. Do you know that we should not leave anything for tomorrow and should finish it today itself?” After a few days, the gardener asked Sheikh to pluck ripe mangoes from the tree. Sheikh, apart from plucking the ripe mangoes, also plucked the unripe mangoes. The gardener was furious at Sheikh. He asked him why he had plucked the unripe mangoes. Sheikh replied, “Sir, you only told me that we should not leave anything for tomorrow and should finish it today. I plucked them today to save tomorrow’s time. Isn’t it a smart idea?”
