On one very cold day of winter, Hodjaa was coming back from a neighboring town. He came to nearby inn which had  a big fire burning in its courtyard. He was very happy to see that. But when he came nearby the fire, he found that there were many people around the fire, so nobody else could come nearby the fire to get enough warmth. He thought a plan.

"What a bad day today! I earned so much money but I lost it on the way." Hodjaa said sadly. People gathered there asked him, "Why don't you go now and search for it? It should be lying somewhere on the way. It is a cold night, so nobody is going to pick that bag." Hodjaa said, "That is what I am also thinking. Who is going to pick it up. Now I am very tired. I will go in the morning to search for it."

In the meantime he saw several people moving quietly from there. Now he could sit near the fire. A man said, "You should have gone only now to get that bag. Anybody could find it and take it. You can see, many people have already left for it." Hodjaa said, "No, I will go tomorrow. Let me get some warmth now. Till then I will tell you another fairy tale...

The End
