Wits of Abu Nawas

Cold Versus Hot is a funny story where it tells about a poor man named Zahid who willingly accepts a rich merchant's challenge. The challenge is to stay in a cool pool from Maghrib till dawn. Zahid succeeds in the challenge but the rich merchant refuses to reward him. Zahid then asks for Abu Nawas' help to solve the matter. We get to see how clever Abu Nawas is in punishing the rich merchant.
