Let’s Write

Question 1.
Describe how Ahmad Ali succeeded in finding the thief.
Answer:
The incident of theft was reported to the chief. Ahmad Ali called his followers and told them that someone had stolen his friend’s money. It was a matter of shame and he was going to find out the thief. He told them, that a magic plate was kept inside his tent. If touched by an innocent man, the plate wouldn’t do any harm. But if the thief touched it, his hand would be caught in it. The men went inside the tent one by one and touched the plate. All came out. No one’s hand was caught in the plate.

Ahmad Ali went to each man and smelt his palm. When he smelt the hand of the twelfth man, he called him out as he was the thief. Ahmad Ali asked the thief to return the money otherwise, he would be killed. The man at once ran away and came back with the gold. He begged his chief to spare his life. Ahmad Ali returned the gold to John Ramson. John Ramson asked Ahmad Ali how he had found out the thief. The chief told him, that he had put a strong smelling liquid in the plate. All except the thief’s hands, gave out the smell.
