Description:Musa tells us about a type of Djinn called chance, which used to dwell in wells. He says that the elderly used to say this so that the children would not go near the wells to get drowned. The elderly also used to say that djinns dwell in empty house, but Musa believes that they said so in order for the children not to enter them to harm themselves.
