ailing mother. All on a sudden his mother woke up, raised her head and told her son to give a
glass of water. Hearing this, Bayazid went to fetch a glass of water but unfortunately, he found
no water in the pitcher. Then he went out with a jar in that dark night to fetch water. He got
frightened but he did not give up his effort of fetching water. At last, he reached a distant
fountain to bring water. He filled the pitcher with water and began to walk fast towards his
house. At about 2.a.m. he reached at home. But he saw that his mother was in deep sleep. He
refrained from disturbing his mother and stood still beside his mother’s bed with the glass of
water. She was surprised to find Bayazid still standing by her bed. She said, “O my son, why
did you not leave the glass on the table and go to sleep? “Dear mother, I thought you would
not find the water on waking. So, I did not leave it on the table and go to sleep. Please take the
glass and drink, “answered bayazid with a smile.
His mother drank water and prayed to Allah to bless her son with the highest spiritual honor.
Later on, Bayazid became one of the famous devotees of Islam.

drop of it. Then after a long time, he sat on a branch of a tree where there was a pitcher under
the tree with a little water in it. He flew down to the pitcher and sat on its edge. When he craned
his beak to quench his thirst, he, saw to his great discouragement, that the water was just at the
bottom. The crow could not reach the water with her beak. He even tried to overturn the jug
but could not. It was too heavy for him to move. When he was just about to fly in despair, he
thought of a plan The crow thought hard for a while. Then, looking around it, he saw some

house. But the problem arose how to divide it because each of the cats wanted the larger portion
of it. When they failed to reach any conclusion, they went to a monkey who is considered to
be the wisest of all the animals. They requested the monkey to divide the bread equally.
The monkey brought a pair of scales but couldn’t resist his temptation. He determined to eat
the bread and made a plan in his mind. He torn out the bread into two pieces and put them on
the scales. He told the cats that one piece was clearly heavier than the other. So, he bit off a
part of the bigger piece. As a result, the piece became heavier. Then the monkey took a part
form the heavier piece and put it on the scales. Actually, he was doing it intentionally. The
monkey continued doing the same thing again and again until there remained only one piece
of bread.
Now, the cats being very much annoyed, told the monkey to return that piece to them. They
said that they themselves would divide the bread equally. But the monkey said that he toiled
much to divide the bread equally. So, he wanted it as his fee. Saying so, the monkey ate up
that piece also. The cat left the place in a very sad mood but the incident made them wise also.
