It was winter. Sheikh Chilli disliked taking his bath, but on his mother’s insistence he had to take his bath. After a while, a loud sound came from the bathroom. His mother rushed towards the bathroom and asked, “What happened?” Sheikh said, “My pyjamas fell down.” His mother was surprised how falling of pyjamas could make such a sound. She again asked the reason behind the loud sound. Sheikh answered, “Oh Mother, I was also inside those pyjamas!” She asked him to come out of the bathroom to see if he was hurt by the fall. When Sheikh came out of the bathroom, his mother saw that he was soaking wet! She asked him, “Now, what is this? Why are your clothes wet?” Sheikh replied, trembling in cold, “Mother, I thought I would feel less cold if I took my bath with my clothes on.” His mother sighed in exasperation, giving him a towel to dry himself.
