CONFIDANT CONSPIRATOR

  

 

Once upon a time there was a Muslim man named Nazir. He was a trader and he had a lot of properties.  

Once night, Nazir saw a strange dream. He dreamed of going to Mecca for praying.  

 


  

Next day, he got up at early in the morning and he reflected his dream. Immediately, on that day he thought of going to Mecca to pray. But he knew, it was a long journey. So he planned everything step by step.  

 


 

First he thought of earning money and he sold all of his properties. Secondly he prepared the meals and goods, to eat while going to Mecca. Then he bought a small house to live and thought of saving half of his money to use after coming back from Mecca. Next, he was finding a loyal friend to keep his money safe and he remembered his poor friend William. Nazir went to meet William and explained his situation. William agreed to take care of money until Nazir returns home.  

  



Nazir started his journey happily because he got afraid of losing his money thinking that it would fall into the hands of thieves. But Nazir had no reason to fear because William was taking care of the money. When time went on William had many economic problems due to lot of debts. He was threatened by creditors so he thought of taking some money from Nazir's wealth. He was able to pay off all the debts from that money. But only half of the money was left. He was thinking of what to say to his friend. He was jealous of Nazir. 

  


Finally he took a decision to escape from the village with the money that Nazir gave to him. After returning home Nazir went to see his friend William with some gifts for taking care of his money. But William was not there. After few days Nazir got to know that William has sold that house and went away. At last he lost his money and his friend 


Moral:  

Excessive craving causes destruction. 

Be careful of your close friend rather than enemy.
