Log long ago, there lived a very kind and generous man, called Hatem Tai in Yemen. He gave away his riches to the poor and the distressed. The people loved Hatem Tai and praised him more than the king of the country. So the king became jealous of Hatem Tai and wanted to kill him. The king send his soldiers to kill Hatem Tai. But Hatem Tai left his Palace and riches and went into hiding in a forest. Failing to catch Hatem Tai the king declared a handsome reward of one thousands gold coins for catching Hatem Tai. A woodcutter and his wife were taking rest sitting beside a bush. They didn't know that Hatem Tai was hiding in the bush. The wife said that if they could arrest Hatem Tai, they would get the reward and become rich. Hearing this, Hatem Tai said himself, I have nothing but my own life to give them. So he surrendered to them. The woodcutter was very honest and refused to take Hatem Tai to the king. At the mean time five Armed men came here and took away Hatem from them. The woodcutter and his wife followed them. Everyone claimed to the king that he had caught Hatem. But Hatem said that it was the woodcutter and not the other people who caught and brought Hatem Tai to the king. He requested the king to give the promised money to the poor woodcutter family so that they would live in peace. The king heard everything from the woodcutter. He said I am proud but you are kind and humble. I am defeated by you.
