00:00In a remote village nestled among the mountains, there lived an elderly man named Haji Mukhtar.
00:06He was known for his wisdom and sharp intellect, serving as a trusted advisor to the villagers.
00:12However, recently, a sinister turn of events plagued the community.
00:17A cunning thief, dubbed the Black Thief, had emerged, sowing fear and panic among the residents.
00:25Whispers of the thief's exploits filled the air, tales of a shadowy figure slipping
00:30into homes at night, stealing jewelry and money, only to vanish like a ghost.
00:36As the villagers locked their doors at night, Haji Mukhtar felt a deep concern for his community
00:42and resolved to put an end to the chaos.
00:45He began gathering information about the thief, concluding that he was no ordinary criminal.
00:51He was clever and skilled in stealth.
00:54Haji Mukhtar decided to use his wisdom to devise a plan to trap the thief.
00:59On a moonlit night, he set his plan in motion.
01:03He collected a set of old imitation metal pots and filled them with fake jewelry to
01:08lure the thief.
01:09He prepared a sturdy rope to use for the trap and placed the pots in his courtyard.
01:15Leaving his door slightly ajar, he scattered pieces of candy on the ground to attract the
01:20thief's attention.
01:21Then he concealed himself behind a large tree, watching intently.
01:27Time passed slowly and the night was eerily quiet until Haji Mukhtar noticed movement
01:33in the shadows.
01:34The black thief appeared, creeping cautiously, his eyes glinting with greed.
01:40Upon seeing the pots, his heart raced with excitement and he rushed towards the bait.
01:46But Haji Mukhtar was ready.
01:48Stop right there, he boomed in a deep, resonant voice.
01:52The thief froze, startled, and turned to face Haji Mukhtar, defiance etched on his face.
01:58Who are you to stop me?
02:00The thief challenged.
02:02With a calm smile, Haji Mukhtar replied, I am here to teach you a lesson you won't forget.
02:08Why do you choose to steal instead of working hard for what you desire?
02:12The thief hesitated, the look of surprise flickering in his eyes.
02:17But his pride prevented him from admitting defeat.
02:20I don't care what you say, I will take what I want.
02:24Unfazed, Haji Mukhtar took a step forward and gestured toward the pots.
02:29These are nothing but fake treasures, but I can show you how to earn real gold, spend
02:34the night in my home, and I will teach you the value of hard work.
02:39After a moment of contemplation, the thief reluctantly agreed, realizing he had no other
02:45choice.
02:46Entering Haji Mukhtar's home, he was welcomed warmly and offered a hearty meal of bread,
02:52meat, and vegetables.
02:54As they dined, Haji Mukhtar began sharing stories of his struggles in life, explaining
03:00how he built his wealth through diligence and integrity.
03:03As the night wore on, the thief found himself captivated by the tales, and by morning, he
03:09felt a newfound desire to change.
