One day the mullah was sitting at home, he had not gone to work. His wife came and said ‘Whyhave you remainedinthe house and not gone towork?’His stomach was aching and he had ‘working of the leg’ (i.e. diarrhoea). We say he had ‘working of the leg.’ His stomach was working. He said ‘For so many years have I worked and my stomach has eaten. Today let my stomach work and let me eat.’
