Achmed's Gold
S1 E128:
In ancient Morocco a wood carver named Achmed worked hard and saved his gold coins so he could fulfil his dream- to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. After several years, Achmed had saved enough for the trip and to keep him in comfort on his return. He asked his good friend Ali to look after his spare money while he was away. Ali promised to do so. But once Achmed had departed, Ali couldn't resist borrowing some of it and then a little more and then more still until eventually it was all gone. When Achmed returned and found that his money was missing he didn't know what to do. A stroke of luck however, led him to a monkey and to everyone's astonishment, the monkey caused the truth about his missing gold to finally be revealed.
