I am rewriting a story found in 100 year od book after deleting the caste names.
There was an old business man in a town. One night a burglar entered his house. He hid himself in a bush under a tree in his garden. Though the business man knew the presence of a thief in the garden, he pretended as if he did not notice him. Various thoughts ran into his mind. If I shouted ‘thief, thief’, then he may run away and visit my house another day. Or he may straight away attack me. My old wife is alone in the house.
Suddenly a flash of thought came. He called his wife at the dead of night and asked her to bring a chair and place it under the tree in the garden. She was wondering what happened to her husband. But as a faithful and obedient wife she did what he said. Then he asked for a pot full of hot water with cloves in it saying that he was suffering from severe tooth ache.
She did bring a pot of hot water with cloves in it to relieve him of his tooth pain. He started gurgling water mouth by mouth and spat on the bush where the burglar was hiding. Before he finished the pot full of water, there was some water left in the pot. He started gurgling the water and spat on his wife. First time she thought he did it by mistake. When he repeated three more times, she started shouting ‘Oh, My God, please help me; my husband is becoming mad. At the dead of night, he started spitting on me Come and help me!’.
The neighbours heard her cry and came to her help. When many of them came around the business man, he started scolding his wife loudly, “What is the use of saving lakhs of rupees and hundreds of sovereigns of gold for this lady? This woman who has been my wife for 50 years couldn’t even tolerate three spits. But look at the thief under the bush who was patient and nice to me even when I spat on him 25 times. Tell me how can I reward him?”
As soon as the businessman said this, the thief tried to come out of the bush and run away. Everyone sprang into action and caught him and took him to the police station.
Moral:– At times of trouble one must not panic, but must use his commons sense.

Escape may lie between this pillar and that!
An innocent man was condemned to death by an unjust governor, and when the executioner had bound him to a pillar and was about to cut off his head, the victim begged he might be bound to the next pillar instead.
The executioner laughed at him, saying “what can you hope to gain so brief an interval? You might just as well let me finish my job.”
But eventually he gave way to the man’s entreaties; and while he was engaged in untying him and fastening him to the next pillar, the king chanced to pass by and asked the meaning of the large crowd that had gathered. On being told, he sent for the condemned man, who was able to convince him of his innocence, and so escaped death.

May God always bless us with such evil!
A pious man bought a cow in the market and set out for his home. He was followed by a thief who planned to steal his cow. On the way the thief fell in another man who revealed himself as a demon who planned to take the pious man’s life.
As they drew near to the latter’s house, where the cow was now tied up, it occurred to the thief that if the demon killed the pious man first, his family may be aroused, and it would be impossible to steal the cow. At the same time the demon thought that, f the thief stole the cow first, the pious man would be awakened by the bellowing, and so would escape death.
Each began to ask the other to wait and take the second place, and eventually they came to blows. The thief began to shout, ‘O Pious man, here is a demon who has come to take your life!’ while the demon shouted back ‘O Pious man, here is a thief who has come to steal your cow!’
In the end the man and his family were aroused, the thief and the demon took to their heels, and the pious man prayed, “May God always bless us with such evil” for the benefit of his family.

In a town there was a thief. He used to go to ‘his work’ after worshipping in a temple praying for a good ‘harvest’. Every day he saw a big crowd listening to a saint. The saint was giving religious discourses. Sometimes he used to listen to it because of some jokes or stories told by the saint.
Suddenly wisdom dawned upon him. One day he visited the saint in the day time.
Thief: Guruji, Namaste!
Guru/saint: My son! Blessings! What brought you here?
Thief: I want to learn some Mantras. Please teach me some mantras.
Guru: Good. What do you do every day for living?
Thief: I am a thief. I have been doing it for the past thirty years.
Guru: What? You have been doing it for 30 years and you want to learn Mantras!
Thief: I want to shine in my life.
Guru: Since you boldly told me the truth that you are a thief, I see something good in you. So here is my Upadesa/teaching. From today onwards ‘Satyam Vada’ i.e. Speak the truth. This is enough for today.
Thief: Yes, Guruji! Thanks. I will follow it.
The same night he wanted to try his hand at the palace with the help of powerful mantra ‘Satyam Vada’.
At the dead of night, he went round the place with all the tools of his trade: Measuring thread, spade, chisel, ladder and hammer. At the same time the king came out of the palace to find the pulse of the country. Hindu kings always go out in disguise to know what the people think about his rule.
King: Hey! Who is it there?
Thief: I am a thief. Today I am going to rob the treasury.
King: Good. I come from outside. I need money. Can I help you? Just give me half of what you get.
Thief: Fine by me. Come on, let us climb the wall.
Since the king know his own palace, he took him straight to the treasury in the pitch darkness.
When they reached the treasury they came across a box. When they opened it they found three big, valuable ruby stones.
King: We are lucky. The very first found itself is valuable.
Thief: Right. Here is one for you and one for me. Let us leave the third stone for the owner.
King: I am surprised. We came to steal. Why do you leave one for the owner/King?
Thief: Look, man. I told you that I would give you half of what I get. If I take the second stone it would not be 50 – 50. If you take the second stone, then again it wouldn’t be half – half. But that is not the only reason. The owner of the stones will be happy to find at least one of his valuables is left out.
The king appreciated his opinion and both of them left the place. The king followed the thief without him knowing. King found out where exactly he lived in the town.
Next day the royal court began its daily session.
King: An important announcement! Spies told me that there was one robbery in the treasury. Did the finance minister who is in charge of treasury know it?
Finance Minister: Oh, King! None of us knew about the theft. We had even our ministerial meeting earlier in the day. I will quickly run to the treasury and give you a report.
When the finance minister went there he saw two gems were stolen and one left out. Greediness blinded him and he took one and put it in his inside pocket.
He came straight to the king and reported:
FM: King! Our spies are very efficient and correct. Three valuable gems- all rubies—were missing.
King: Are you sure that all the three gems missing? Nothing was left by the thief?
F M : Which foolish thief in the world will leave one gem?
King: Right. I have got one more bit of information. Guards, Go and get this man from this address. Don’t harm him.
The king gave the thief’s address to the royal guards who fetched him in no time.
Thief (shivering): Namaste, Maharaj.
King: What did you do last night?
Thief: I came to your palace with another thief and took two gems from your treasury. I kept one and gave the other to my partner. There was one more gem and I left it for the owner.
King: That is right. I was your partner last night. I came in disguise. Now the third gem is missing. FM, put it on the table at once.
FM: King, how dare you accuse me of theft? I and my forefathers have been serving you for generations.
King: If you don’t place it in front of me, I am going to order body search and your house search.
FM: Pardon me, King. My greediness blinded my eyes. He placed the ruby at the king’s feet.
As soon as he confessed, he was taken to the prison at the order of the king.
King: One more important announcement: This thief is appointed as the Finance Minister from today on wards. He is more truthful and more loyal to my kingdom than any one of you.
All the ministers congratulated the newly appointed FM.
The new FM went and met his Guru next day and told him what happened
In the past few days.
Guru: One Vedic command “Satyam Vada” is enough for you to shine in life. I will teach you more next week.
