- Najar, what the matter with you? Why do not you sleep?
- Oh, my wife, I am not able to make the order of padishah - I am not able to make till the morning five hundred sacks of sawdust. So, my head would be cut off.
- Dear, sleep, as was slept to you in good old times. Let's wait for a morning. The god is one, and there are thousand exits, - begins to calm him the wife.
As soon as began to dawn and the cocks have woken up, there was a knocking in a door of the carpenter:
