One day a thief entered the dervish’s house and took away half of his property. The dervish picked up the rest of the things and ran after the thief.
- What do you want? - asked the thief, noticing that the dervish was not far behind and was following him along the street.
“Nothing,” answered the dervish, “I’ve just been thinking about moving to a better place for a long time.” You were so kind that you carried half of my things. I took the other half and now I'm moving with you. And in the morning my wife and other relatives will arrive.
“That’s it,” the thief then said, “please take everything back and let me go.”
