Once upon a time …. In ancient times there was an old man who had only a wife and a son and nothing else. Although he was old, he woke up every dawn and went go out of his home for doing some work to gain the least livelihood for his wife and son. After one hundred of life he died. His wife said to her son, "Until when your father was alive he gained livelihood. Now, you should gain an employment." The son said, "I have no capital and don't know any work either. What should I do?" the mother went and took a bag with herself from the bin and gave to the son, and said, "This is a magic bag. Whenever you put your hand inside it, you can bring money from it. Don't show it to anyone. Go to the Capital city and open a large shop for yourself." The son took the bag and went to the Capital city and took out from the bag as much money as he could open a large shop. He provided all small and large goods for his shop. And in order to propagate his job, he was selling his goods for half price.
All the people came to his shop from everywhere and crowded in front of his shop to buy something. Very soon the job of the son high propagated. Shopkeepers of the market their jobs of whom had become slack and were close to close their shops went to the palace of the king and complained of him. The news of this son reached to the daughter of the king and she decided to get informed about his story completely. So, she wore an ordinary dress and went to his shop. Pretending as a customer she began to coquet with him and eventually wheedled him. Sine so far he had not seen any woman, by seeing the eyes and eyebrows of her he gave up himself and fell in her love. The girl promised that she would marry with him. He was so deceived that gave the bag gladly to her. The girl went without any further notice to him. Although this unfortunate boy so begged her and cried and cried, there were no notice from the princess and didn't give back the bag.
The job of the son became slack and shamefully returned to his mother and told her all the events. He complained that the king's daughter had caused his disaster. The mother said him not to be worry at all. She went and took a mouth organ out of the bin and gave it to the son and said, "Whenever you play this mouth organ, several thousand of brave warrior horsemen will come out of it. By them you can capture the capital city in one hour."
The boy took the mouth organ and went on the top of a high hill near the capital city and played it. Suddenly several thousand armed horsemen were rowed. The boy ordered the army to capture the capital city without annoying the people. Agents took the news of the capture of the capital city to the king. The king feared so much, but his daughter understood that this work was also done by the same shopkeeper being in her love. So, she made up herself so beautifully and dressed in her court party dress and held a white flag in her hand and went toward the boy. This time too she promised him to marry with him and took the mouth organ from him and sent back the horsemen into it and eased the mind of the king.
Again the boy came back to his mother empty – handed. When the mother realized what happened for her son, consoled him saying that defeat of the king and his daughter was very easy. She said this and went and took two bottles of drug out of the bin and gave then to her son and said, "If anyone drinks this drug, two horns will grow on his / her head as long as two cubits, and the other drug can be cured. Go, and don't come back until when you will have taken back the bag and the mouth organ."
The boy returned back to the capital city and straightly went to the market and opened a small fruit shop. Some days later, one of the slaves of the court came for buying a basket of fruit for the entertainment of the king himself. The boy poured the first drug on the fruits in such manner that the slave was not able to see, and gave the basket of fruits to the slave.
At night, the king and his wife ate the fruits. On the morning when they woke up, they saw that on the head of each had been grown two so large horns. They became so upset as if the world had been ruined on them. They were ashamed to leave the harem. They didn't know what to do with this disaster. Immediately the king called the minister and wanted him to bring the carpenters. The carpenters cut the horns, but before leaving there the horns again grew on their heads, as large as the first ones. The king was not able to handle the affairs of the country. He knew if the people notice that he had two big horns grown on his head, he would lose his credit among them. On the other hand he could not hide the horns. At last, he announced that he will nominate anyone who can cure them for marriage with his daughter or will give him a fortune if he would have wife and wouldn't want his daughter.
The boy waited two days in order that the decision of the king became more decisive. Then he went to the king's court and wanted first to be married with the king's daughter. The girl married with him. Then he said, "Now, give me also back the bag and the mouth organ in order that I cure you." They gave back him the bag and the mouth organ too. Afterwards, he cut the horns and poured the second drug on their heads. In this manner the king and his wife became cured. When the king noticed that the boy had so many skills, became happy and made him as his minister.
