One merchant was traveling with a caravan and boasted to his companions:
- Of course, Aldar Kusa can deceive everyone, but not me. Aldar Kusa knows how to deceive only fools.
Suddenly he looks, and Aldar Kusa is walking towards him along the road.
“Hello,” says Aldar Kusa, “I wish you a good journey.”
And the merchant boasted even more:
- Hey, Aldar Kusa! - shouts. - If you are a deceiver, deceive me. Try. But nothing will work out for you. This is not the one he attacked.
Aldar Kusa bowed politely to the merchant. - Oh, it’s a pity, dear merchant. My deceiver bag stayed at home. Please give me your horse, I’ll quickly turn around and bring the bag. And then you will be convinced whether I will deceive you or not?
- Okay, bring it! — the merchant agreed and gave Aldar Kusa a horse.
Aldar Kusa left.
The merchant never saw him again.
