This is a story told by my beloved spirtual mother Syeda Amina Hajjah Adil
from the many stories of syedina Jalaluddin Rumi 
A man was walking along a road one day, followed by his sheep. A theif went after him, cutthe rope of the sheep, and took it away.
When he realised what had happened, the man ran all over the place looking for his animal. Presently he came to a well, where he saw a man apparently in despair. Although the man did not know it, he was the very same theif.
He asked him what he was doing, the theif said:
'I have dropped a purse into this well. It contains five hundred silver coins. If you will jump in and get it back for me, I will give you a hundred silver pieces.'
The man thought: 'When one door shuts, a hundred may open. This chance is worth ten times the sheep which i have lost'.
He stripped himself and plunged into the well, And the theif carried off his clothes..
