Description:Sulyeman tells us about a treasure that was hidden away in a wall in the living room by a mother, who was stung by a scorpion and died. She had two sons. They call a sorcerer from Midyat, who comes and brings his book. He opens the book in the name of the elder son but fails. Once he opens the book in the name of the younger son, he is able to provide precise measurements, which enables them to find the hidden treasure.
