In a small hill town there lived a thief. He was very smart and before
breaking into houses for theft he used to enquire about the lifestyles of
the people staying in that house. Then at the dead of night he used to
commit theft.
Dhanpatrai was a moneylender living in the same town. He was thrifty and
never wasted money. He had a daughter named Laxmi. The thief knew that
Dhanpatrai was rich and he had a lot of jewellery with him. Smartly the
thief found out the location of the house and designed the theft. One
night, getting up to the roof of the house he started removing the roofcovering
made of earthen tiles.
The moneylender heard the sound and was sure that a thief was on the roof
of the house. Now he had to create some ploy. He hit upon a plan. “Laxmi,
Laxmi” he called out to his daughter who was sleeping. “Laxmi, I hope our
money-box and jewellery are kept in the ceiling,” he asked cleverly.
Generally, in hill area, to keep house warm in winter, houses have a
thatched roofing and below that, a wooden ceiling. Certain things used to
be kept in the space between the roofing and wooden ceiling. So when the
thief heard the question put by Dhanpatrai, he thought that there was a
ceiling below the thatched roof. So he jumped down.
But actually in the house there was no wooden ceiling. So the thief fell
to the floor of the house which was about fifteen feet below and broke
his leg.
