The parents told him that in Eid program they will give him a red shirt. The boy said ok and waited for Eid. Then after some days before Eid, the father went to cow market to sell his cow & while going promised his son that he will come back with a red shirt. However he succeeded to sell the cow & got a handsome amount by selling the cow. Then happily he was returning home with the money & he was thinking he will buy a red shirt for his son & will do some others shopping. But suddenly a bad incident happened.
