A day at the jail a prisoner escapes at the time of supper. The police runs after him but couldn't keep up. To catch the thief they blocked all the roads and highways, but the thief still escapes. Then the police decides to put up posters regarding however would catch the thief would be rewarded. A poor person saw the poster and thought he would be rewarded for catching the thief, and coincidently the thief was ahead searching for a place to hide. The poor man then identifies the prisoner from the picture on the poster. They both looked the same and then he dragged him halfway to the police station singing in joy. In the middle of the way the prisoner halts and refuses to go unless he agrees to give him have of the reward. The poor man thinks a bit and then agrees to him. When they reach the police station he drags the prisoner in front of the officer. The officer smiled at the man and asked him what price he wanted. The poor man said" He was not agreeing to come here so we made a deal, that we both shall half the reward. We shall have 100 lashes, I will have 50 lashes, please and convey the rest to the prisoner.
