kashem
kashem has lost his property family friends. he has nothing to hope for except his memory of amir of baghdad.
he set out at last for iraq. it took him many years. he was in tatters and unrecognizable. for many months he worked in market as labourer and saved money to to make a dress that he may be able to make an audience with amir.
oneday he at last approached the gatekeeper wearing his best and requested to be allowed to be present when amir made appearance. gatekeeper's father in law was a guard of royal chamber. he somehow conveyed his acquaintance with amir and at long last allowed to be present among hundred guests. amir recognized him and came forward and asked him what made him come. kashem related his sad story. amir called an assistant and asked him to give 100 sheep to kashem.
kashem went out with the sheeps for grazing. there was a natural calamity drought and he lost all his sheeps. he was back again to meet amir and asking for favor. this time amir ordered kashem to be given 20 goats. however they were soon lost this time due to hail storm in the mountains.
kashem was back to amir asking for favor. he was ordered to be given a pair of cows. kashem prospered selling milk and slowly became wealthy. after many years he thought of visiting amir with some gift of sweet meat from his own shop.
Amir was very happy meeting him and made him ruler of a state. kashem asked amir why it took so long to make him a chieftain. amir replied had he done this in first meeting amir himself would have been out in the street seeking favor.
