Solution
(Ahmad and Kasim are standing near Ahmad's well).
| Ahmad: | Why do you come begging for water time and again? I feel sorry to turn down your request every time. I have a suggestion for you, collect some money and buy the whole well from me. |
| Kasim: | (thinks to himself) Ahmad would ask for a lot of money but the channel of water which will come running from the field will indeed change my fortune. (Next day) |
| Ahmad: | So you have come again! |
| Kasim: | I bring to you all my savings. I have decided to buy the whole well from you. (Next day Kasim is at the well digging out a channel) |
| Ahmad: | What are you doing Kasim? How dare you touch the water in my presence? |
| Kasim: | What do you mean? Haven't you sold this well to me? |
| Ahmad: | Ah, I sold the well all right, but not the water in the well. The water still belongs to me, you can't use it. If you needed the water along with the well, you should have said so. I have a suggestion for you, pay for the water separately and use it. You can buy freshwater every day. I don't mind. (Kasim rushes to the Qazi and tells him the whole story. Ahmad is summoned to the court and the Qazi hears his argument patiently and then.....) |
| Qazi: | Hmm, I see that you are right. What you have sold is the well, the water is all yours. Isn't that so? |
| Ahmad: | My Lord, I am so grateful you understand the fine points of this case. The water does indeed belong to me. |
| Qazi: | In that case Ahmad, why are you keeping it in Kasim's well? You have no right to keep your belongings in his property. You must remove the water immediately or else, you can pay a daily rent to Kasim. Then he will allow you to use his well. (Ahmad is dumbfounded, people present in the court laugh) |
| Kasim: | (thinks to himself) I will never trouble Ahmad for the 'rent'. After all I got justice. (Curtain falls) |
