A weaver was living in a village. Once he noticed that his loom needed repair.
He went to the jungle to chop some wood for that. When he was about to chop wood
from a giant tree he saw a genie sitting on the tree. The genie said that the
tree was his home and he would not allow anyone to cut that tree. The genie said
he could give a boon to the weaver in lieu of sparing the tree. The weaver said
that he would like to ask his wife for advice. The weaver returned home to ask
his wife. The wife was even dumber. She said that he should ask for one extra
head and two extra hands. That would enable him to weave at a faster pace. The
weaver went to the genie and asked for boon as per the advice given by his wife.
When he was on his way back home the villagers thought of him as some dangerous
monster and beat him to death.
