The Will of Allah
This is a story of two thieves, one highly religious (Sule) and one who almost seems to be against religion (Dogo), working together. It appears to be an odd combination, but they are only working together because it is convenient. Their backgrounds are explained, how neither of them fear any man, aside from Allah on Sule's side, and how they both distrust each other. They end up breaking into an old shack which contains a large gourd, used as a bank of sorts. Dogo takes the gourd down by a stream and thrusts his hand into it, all while Sule is still exiting the shack, only to feel a sharp pain in his wrist. When asked by Sule if he'd opened it yet, Dogo replies no. Sule then puts his hand in the gourd only to also have a sharp pain in his wrist. When the peer inside of it, they both realize they've been bitten by a cobra and proceed to die there by the stream.
