There was a haji who was so stingy. One day he bought a set of sheep's head and trotters and took it to his home. His wife cooked them. The smell of the cooked food spread throughout the valley. The neighboring pregnant woman longed for cooked sheep's head and trotters. She went to the house of the haji to take a bowl of cooked sheep's head and trotters. But she was embarrassed and said: "I need fire. Please give me a little hot fire." Haji's wife gave her a little fire. The woman went and came back again and said: "Please give me some additional hot fire." Haji's wife looked at the abdomen of the woman and realized what she wanted really. Immediately went toward the pot and brought her a cooked trotter. The woman took it and prayed to her life.
It was noon. Haji's wife spread the tablecloth and put the cooked sheep's head and trotters on it. Haji looked at the content of the pot and said: "Where is a totter of it?" His wife answered: "I ate it." Haji said: "Then, I died too!" Then he laid down pretending he had died. The wife said: "Oh Haji! Feel ashamed. Don't dishonor. Get up." Haji asked again: "Where is the cooked trotter?" The wife answered: "I ate it." Haji said: "Then I died too. Inform the neighbors to bury me."
Whatever Haji's wife advise him was useless. Inevitably, she had to obey what the haji wanted her to do. So she began to cry and moan. The neighbors gathered around her due to her noise, and said her: "What's the matter?" The wife said: "Haji died!" They brought coffin and put the haji in it and took him to the cemetery. They washed the haji and shrouded him and put him in the grave. Before filling the grave of Haji, his wife said: "Leave a hole in the grave of Haji in order that I can talk to him whenever I feel lonely." They left a hole on the haji's grave.
The neighbors went. Haji's wife bent onto the hole and called the haji and begged: "Oh Haji! Stop doing so! Come out." Haji said: "I won't come out unless you bring me that totter." The wife went back in the next day to the haji's grave again and said through the hole: "Oh Haji. Feel ashamed. Come out." Haji asked: "Have you brought the trotter?" the wife answered: "No!" Haji said: "So I don't come out either!"
In the next day, a merchant with his camel caravan carrying Chinese utensils, was passing through the cemetery. The leg of one of the camels went into the hole on the haji's grave. Haji began to shout in the grave. The camels stampeded and their loads fell down and all the Chinese utensils broke. The merchant asked surprisingly: "What was the cause of the stampeding of camels?" One of the slaves of the merchant answered: "A sound came out of this grave causing the camels to stampede. Certainly there is some strange thing in the grave!"
They dug the grave and took the haji out. Haji asked: "Have you brought the trotter?" The slaves and merchant, who thought that he was making fun of them, beat him severely. Haji could hardly get rid of them and returned back to his home crying and regretful.
