🍁 *Intoxication of wealth (folk tale)* 🍁

  There was a king, who had a barber, who by the way was like ordinary people, but during the haircut, he used to talk so much that it was impossible to be silent.  It was fun and he used to laugh listening to his words. The barber also had a strange habit, which angered the king a lot, but he kept silent as he was forced by habit and stupid.

  The barber's habit was that while he was cutting the king's hair, someone would take an opportunity and say to the king:

 "Peace be upon you! My son has also become young. He is one in a million. Your daughter is also older, may God prolong her life and be young."

  I have gone, if you bless me, the relationship of a princess, my son

  If you do it, my son's life will also be blessed and your daughter will also get married."

 Hearing this from the barber, the king would get angry on the one hand and laugh on the other hand, and sometimes when he was thinking of a joke, he would laugh and say to the barber:

 "Well give me some time so I can consult the queen and princess."

 It went on like this for some time, finally one day the king consulted his minister and asked him:

 Minister!  You are wise enough to find out that the barber has been bothering me so much for a long time, so what is the reason why he asks me for a relationship with the ruler."

 The minister sought the king's permission to consider the matter.

 The next day the minister told the king:

 "Peace be upon the king! It may be an addiction to wealth that the barber requests a relationship with the king, but the question is also how to know how much wealth he has and where it is?"

 Finally, the minister consulted the king and robbed the barber's house. The robbers took everything from the barber's house. The minister and the king thought that the barber would not be so bold, but it did not happen.  But when he started to clean the blade, he also started asking for a relationship with the king. Even then, the king laughed and asked him for a few days' respite and saved his life.

 On the second night, the Wazir dug the floor where the barber used to shave and found that treasure pots were buried under the floor.

 The minister understood that this treasure buried in the ground inside the palace was kept by the elders of the king and when the barber was going to cut the hair.

 He used to stand in the same place, so naturally his mind

  used to go around and when he left there, then he

  He became a simple person like a normal person.

 The minister took out all that treasure from there and at the same time made the floor as solid as before.  The next day, when the barber stood up to shave the king and began to shave, he did not ask for anything. Finally, the king said to him:

 "You asked for my eldest daughter's relationship. Now you should prepare."

 The barber started trembling with fear. His lips and tongue became dry. He said in fear:

 "Long live the King!  What are you saying? I am your servant, where am I the barber and where are you the king?  "

 Saying two or four broken words like this, the barber is helpless and unconscious

  He fell down. The king sprinkled roses and perfume on him and he

  brought to consciousness.

 After that day, the barber never spoke to the king about decorating his son's life and marrying the princess
