One upon a time, there was none other than God. In ancient times there was a person named as Ali, the planter of fava beans. However this person planted fava bean, a certain crow went and took the seeds out of the soil and ate them, and furthermore whenever it became satisfied it flied and sat on a nearby tree and said: "Caw! My fart to the beard of Ali, the planter of fava beans."
Ali had become confused really due to that act of the crow and had bee tired of this act of the crow. One day he sat and thought and planned to catch the crow somehow. He put a pan on the fire and when it was very red hot, put it on the same branch of the tree on which the crow used to sit on it laughing him. The crow, unaware everywhere, sat on the hot pan and the crow's feet were stuck to the pan. Ali, who had lurked nearby, ran rapidly toward the crow and caught it. As he wanted to separate the head of the crow, it said Ali: "Don't kill me, because I am useful for you. If you release me, I'll help you a lot." Ali said: "What would you do for me?" The crow answered: "I have a pot at a certain place that if you hit its edge with a thing and say "rice, rice, seven types of rice", seven types of rice will appear for you. I have also a can that if you hit its edge with a stick and say "can, can, all go out of can", immediately one thousand black slaves would came out of it, and if you hit its edge again and say "can, can, all go into the can", all of them would go into the can. I will give these two to you. I will also give you some of my feathers. Whenever the field was narrowed for you, drop one of them into the fire and immediately I will appear to help you." Ali agreed and released the crow. The crow gave Ali all the things it had promised. Ali tested the both and noticed that the crow was right.
After passing some nights from this story, one night Ali invited the ruler of the city with all his slaves. At dinner, he took seven types of rice from the pot and served them to the guests. He entertained them thoroughly. One of the slaves of the ruler noticed from where he took out those various types of rice, and when they left Ali's home he rapidly went to the ruler and said him what he had found out. The ruler said: "This pot will be useful for us." The next dad, he sent a few slaves to take the pot from Ali. The ruler's slaves went to Ali's home and forcefully took the pot from him and took it to the ruler. Ali had no way but to agree that story and said nothing in fear of his life. He waited until when the slaves arrived at the ruler's home. When he was sure that they have reached there, he went to use the can. He picked it up and got going toward the house of the ruler. When he reached the door of that house, he hit the can with stick and said: "can, can, all go out of can". Suddenly one thousand black slaves came out of the can each having an unsheathed sword and took around the ruler and his persons. Ali's slaves involved with the persons of the ruler and after killing some of them, the ruler wanted safe and surrendered. Ali gave him safe and said the ruler: "There are so many hands over hand." The ruler was ashamed, but Ali gave him consolation and after that he was a friend of him until the end of his life.
