One day the boy looked into a jug of water and saw his reflection in it. He stuck out his tongue, and the reflection showed him his tongue. He shook his head and the reflection shook its head. The boy got scared, ran to his father and told him everything.
The father listened to him incredulously. But then he and his son went to the jug and looked inside. Great was his surprise when he saw a bearded man in him! Father grabbed the jug, raised it above his head, and how he would smash it on the ground! The jug shattered into pieces. And the father said:
- Serves you right! Look what a beard he’s grown, but he’s still being mischievous and scaring the children!
