Once a golden necklace was lost from a rich man’s house. A few servants worked in that house. Naturally, it was suspected. that .any one of the servants had stolen the necklace. The man complained to the Qazi about the stealing.
The Qazi called upon all the servants, and they promptly presented themselves before him. Inquiring about the missing necklace, he questioned each servant individually, but all vehemently denied any involvement in the theft. Undeterred, the Qazi devised a clever plan: he distributed a stick to each servant, instructing them to return the following day with their sticks, with the added caveat that the stick of the thief would be longer by an inch.
As the servants dispersed, all except the true culprit drifted off to sleep after a long day's work. However, the guilt-ridden thief found himself unable to rest. Fearful of being caught should his stick indeed grow longer, he resolved to take action. Under the cover of darkness, he meticulously shortened his stick by precisely one inch, hoping to evade detection.
The following morning, all the servants assembled before the Qazi, sticks in hand. With a keen eye, the Qazi scrutinized each stick, searching for any discrepancies. His observation was rewarded when he identified a stick an inch shorter than the rest. Thus, the thief's deceit was exposed, and he was swiftly apprehended and sent to jail, serving as a cautionary tale for all who would dare to deceive.
Wisdom of a Qazi
Once, a valuable golden necklace went missing from the house of a wealthy man. The house was full of servants, and it was suspected that one of them had stolen the necklace. Distressed by the loss, the man went to the Qazi for assistance, hoping to find a way to uncover the thief.
The Qazi summoned all the servants to his court. Each one was questioned individually about the missing necklace, but all of them vehemently denied having anything to do with it. Despite their denials, the Qazi sensed that someone was lying. He decided to employ a clever and unconventional method to identify the thief.
He called for a stick to be given to each servant. He then instructed them to return the next day, bringing their sticks with them. But there was one crucial condition: the Qazi told them that the stick of the thief would be exactly one inch longer than the others. This intrigued the servants, and they left the Qazi's court, some nervous, others unconcerned.
That night, the guilty servant couldn't shake the fear of being caught. He wondered if his stick would indeed be longer the next day, and so he decided to act. Under the cover of darkness, he hurriedly shortened his stick by exactly one inch, hoping to avoid detection. He was careful not to make any mistakes, fearing that his secret would be discovered.
The next morning, all the servants returned to the Qazi’s court, each holding their stick. The Qazi examined each one closely, checking for any differences in length. His sharp eyes noticed that one stick was noticeably shorter than the others. It was the one that had been altered.
Without saying a word, the Qazi immediately pointed out the shorter stick and exposed the thief. The guilty servant, unable to deny the truth, confessed to the theft. He was arrested and thrown into prison, where he would face the consequences of his actions.
The Qazi’s cleverness had brought the truth to light, and the thief’s efforts to outsmart him had failed. The other servants learned a valuable lesson that day: deception, no matter how carefully planned, could not escape the wisdom of a true leader. The story of the Qazi’s intelligence spread far and wide, reinforcing the belief that justice, when pursued with wisdom and fairness, would always prevail.

একজন কাজীর জ্ঞান
একবার, এক ধনী ব্যক্তির বাড়ি থেকে একটি মূল্যবান সোনার নেকলেস হারিয়ে গেল। বাড়িটি ভৃত্যে পরিপূর্ণ ছিল, এবং সন্দেহ করা হয়েছিল যে তাদের মধ্যে একজন নেকলেসটি চুরি করেছে। ক্ষতির কারণে হতাশ হয়ে, লোকটি চোরকে খুঁজে বের করার উপায় খুঁজে বের করার আশায় কাজীর কাছে সাহায্যের জন্য গেল।
কাজী সমস্ত ভৃত্যদের তার দরবারে ডেকে পাঠালেন। প্রত্যেককে হার হারিয়ে যাওয়ার বিষয়ে পৃথকভাবে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদ করা হয়েছিল, কিন্তু তারা সকলেই এর সাথে কোনও সম্পর্ক থাকার কথা তীব্রভাবে অস্বীকার করেছিল। তাদের অস্বীকার সত্ত্বেও, কাজী বুঝতে পারলেন যে কেউ মিথ্যা বলছে। তিনি চোরকে শনাক্ত করার জন্য একটি চতুর এবং অপ্রচলিত পদ্ধতি ব্যবহার করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছিলেন।
তিনি প্রতিটি ভৃত্যকে একটি লাঠি দেওয়ার জন্য বললেন। তারপর তিনি তাদের পরের দিন ফিরে আসার নির্দেশ দিলেন, তাদের লাঠিগুলি তাদের সাথে নিয়ে এলেন। কিন্তু একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ শর্ত ছিল: কাজী তাদের বললেন যে চোরের লাঠিটি অন্যদের চেয়ে ঠিক এক ইঞ্চি লম্বা হবে। এতে চাকররা আগ্রহী হয়ে উঠল এবং তারা কাজীর দরবার ছেড়ে চলে গেল, কেউ কেউ ঘাবড়ে গেল, অন্যরা উদ্বিগ্ন ছিল না।
সেই রাতে, দোষী ভৃত্য ধরা পড়ার ভয় কাটিয়ে উঠতে পারেনি। সে ভাবছিল যে পরের দিন তার লাঠিটি সত্যিই লম্বা হবে কিনা, তাই সে পদক্ষেপ নেওয়ার সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছে। অন্ধকারের আড়ালে, সে তাড়াহুড়ো করে তার লাঠিটি ঠিক এক ইঞ্চি ছোট করে ফেলল, ধরা এড়াতে। সে সতর্ক ছিল যে কোনও ভুল না করে, ভয়ে যে তার গোপন রহস্য উন্মোচিত হবে।
পরের দিন সকালে, সমস্ত ভৃত্য কাজীর দরবারে ফিরে এল, প্রত্যেকে তাদের লাঠি ধরে। কাজী প্রত্যেককে ভালোভাবে পরীক্ষা করলেন, দৈর্ঘ্যের কোনও পার্থক্য আছে কিনা তা পরীক্ষা করলেন। তার তীক্ষ্ণ দৃষ্টি লক্ষ্য করল যে একটি লাঠি অন্যগুলির তুলনায় লক্ষণীয়ভাবে ছোট। এটিই ছিল যেটি পরিবর্তন করা হয়েছিল।
একটি কথা না বলে, কাজী তৎক্ষণাৎ ছোট লাঠিটি দেখিয়ে চোরকে উন্মোচন করলেন। দোষী ভৃত্য, সত্য অস্বীকার করতে না পেরে, চুরির কথা স্বীকার করল। তাকে গ্রেপ্তার করে কারাগারে নিক্ষেপ করা হয়েছিল, যেখানে তাকে তার কর্মের পরিণতি ভোগ করতে হবে।
কাজীর চতুরতার কারণে সত্য প্রকাশ পেয়েছিল এবং চোরের তাকে ছাড়িয়ে যাওয়ার প্রচেষ্টা ব্যর্থ হয়েছিল। সেদিন অন্যান্য চাকররা একটি মূল্যবান শিক্ষা পেল: যতই সাবধানতার সাথে পরিকল্পনা করা হোক না কেন, প্রতারণা একজন সত্যিকারের নেতার জ্ঞান এড়াতে পারে না। কাজীর বুদ্ধিমত্তার গল্প বহুদূরে ছড়িয়ে পড়ে, এই বিশ্বাসকে আরও দৃঢ় করে তোলে যে, জ্ঞান ও ন্যায়বিচারের সাথে অনুসরণ করলে ন্যায়বিচার সর্বদা জয়ী হবে।

Rimi's Adventure Gone Wrong
It was a holiday, and Rimi was home alone while her parents had gone to their village house. Before leaving, they warned her to stay cautious and promised to return before evening. With the house all to herself, Rimi decided to make the most of her time. She was an avid reader of adventure stories, so she picked up a book and started reading one.
Suddenly, Rimi heard a strange noise, something that resembled the sound of an animal. Given her love for adventure stories, she quickly imagined it might be some sort of devilish creature. Fear gripped her, and she felt herself trembling. The sound continued, growing louder and more frequent. Overcome with fear, Rimi started to cry. She ran to a corner of her bed, wrapped herself in a blanket, and tried to hide from whatever might be lurking.
The noise grew louder, and soon it was very close. Mustering what little courage she had, Rimi peeked out from under the blanket. To her horror, she saw two bright green eyes staring at her. Terrified, she screamed and fainted.
When Rimi regained consciousness, she found herself in her mother’s arms, with her father looking concerned. Her mother was gently pouring cool water on her forehead to calm her down. As Rimi hugged her mother, still shaking, she explained everything that had happened.
Her father, looking amused, said, "Silly girl, it was just a pussy cat that wandered into the house. I know you love adventure stories, but those stories can sometimes make you believe in things that aren’t real. My advice is to read them for fun, but don’t take them too seriously. Most of those strange things aren’t part of reality."
Feeling embarrassed, Rimi promised to be more sensible and not let her imagination take over her common sense again. She realized that while adventure stories were exciting, they should not cloud her judgment about the real world.
