"Papa, why do we praise and adore Gufti always?, I heard that he shares the entitlements of this town with the King, what is the reason behind this?" asked Rotini, the son of one of the wise men in Luhak village. His papa answered "You will not be the only person to know about this, gather your friends to meet me under the mango tree in the backyard by evening".
Eagerly, Rotini informed his friends about the message of his Papa.
In the evening, many youth gathered under the mango tree, waiting for Rotini's Papa. Immediately he joined them, they all prostrated before him. He said "I know you all wonder why Gufti is so much respected in this town, I believe this is the best time to let you all know the reason behind it. Let's start with the childhood days of Gufti. Gufti, right from his childhood days has been powerful, this is as a result of his father being powerful.

He approached the enigma and asked what it was doing in the human kingdom.
