Everyone in Sheikh Chilli’s village used to make fun of him. This made his mother feel very unhappy. She didn’t want her son to be called a fool or an idiot. She was often worried about what Sheikh would do when she had gone. She would keep reminding Sheikh to be a good human being and to always help the needy and the elderly. Sheikh was very innocent and would always follow his mother’s instructions, word-to-word. One day, Sheikh was coming back from the market. He saw a tired looking old lady struggling with two heavy bags. Sheikh remembered his mother’s words and asked the old lady to give him her bags to carry. The old lady was so relieved that happily she handed Sheikh the two bags and blessed him a number of times. Sheikh went back home and told his mother the whole incident. Sheikh’s mother felt very proud of her son that day.
