The Sand Dune Jinn and the Secret Wealth

Description

Assalamu Alaikum. Once upon a time, a man came to Cholistan to graze his animals. He started searching for water, but he did not find any sign of it anywhere. After wandering for many days, he got tired, gathered all of his courage and went to a sand dune. As soon as he sat down on the dune, it started shaking and little by little, a jinn came out of it. Seeing the jinn, the man got scared, but when the jinn saw his condition, he laughed and said: "There is no need to be afraid of me. I am here to protect this Cholistan desert and I help good people like you." When the shepherd herder told the jinn about his [water] problems, the jinn showed him the hidden wealth of the desert. He showed him various exotic herbs that can be used to cure many diseases and hidden wealth in water. He told him this on the condition that the man should take care of all this wealth and not misuse it. The shepherd agreed and shared his knowledge with his fellow villagers and started doing good deeds by using the wealth he got for the welfare and prosperity of the village.
