There were a few mischievous gnomes living in the nether world. Once they appeared on the earth and played a cruel joke on a woman. They stole her lovely baby and replaced it with their own little one in the baby-cradle. The woman begged for her baby, but the gnomes would not relent.
The woman became mentally upset. One day, instead of giving the dog biscuits to her pet dog, she ate them all by herself. The gnomes, who were watching her, began to laugh. They found it so amusing that they returned the baby to the woman.
Moral : Tickle the funny bone when nothing else works.
