Hi Iq Thief

Hi IQ Thief​

Once upon a time, in a country a thief was sentenced to death for stealing a small manhole cover. Then the thief asked for a chance to meet the Prime Minister of the country as his last wish. When he was brought to the Prime Minister, he spoke to him.

Sir, the only reason I want to meet you is because I have the seed of a tree that can fulfill all the desires of the heart. I want to plant this tree for you.

The Prime Minister asked him, 'How many days will it take to plant your sapling?'

The thief replied, 'Sir, seven days.'

Seven days later, he was again brought before the cabinet.

Someone asked, 'How is your sapling?'

'Indeed, the land is ready, but it will take three more days for the seed to mature,' said the thief.

Three days later, he was produced before PM.

The Prime Minister enquired, 'Is the seed ready now?'

The thief said, 'Sir, the land and the seed are all ready, but I can't plant it.'

The Prime Minister asked, 'Why?'

"It must be planted by someone who has never stole anything anytime. Otherwise, it will lose its effectiveness," said the thief.

Immediately, the Prime Minister instructed the Finance Minister to sow the seed. The Finance Minister, bewidered and felt guilty.

'Sir, I work on the money of the whole country. In the midst of all this work, there may be few amounts not in accounts here and there.'

The Prime Minister then instructed the Transport Minister.

The Minister of Transport said awkwardly,

'Sir, I have to approve hundreds of vehicles every day. In between there may be a couple of occasions money placed into my drawers and remain un accounted.'

The Prime Minister then instructed the Foreign Minister. The Foreign Minister to nervously responded,

'Sir, while in contact with many countries and during travel, in trade transactions - in between some cash transfers to my account might have had happened.'

Then the Prime Minister told everyone, but they avoided it with the similar excuse.
Eventually, everyone suggested the Prime Minister,
'Sir, you plant it yourself.'

Then the Prime Minister said, 'Your responsibilities are small. But I run the entire country. I too might have erroneously spent taxpayers money for myself or for my family?'

A formidable silence followed. A while laterond man emboldened to defend the thief.
'Well, sir, this thief is a petty manhole cover thief. It may not be right to award him death penalty? Please let him go.'

Another said,

'No, he can't be released. Then he'll go out and expose our averment here that will be adverse publicity for our governance. He must be prevented from approaching President for a reprieve'

Everyone was cogitating about what to do with manhole thief.

Then someone said,
'Sir, I would suggest the thief be appointed as a minister by creating another ministry exclusively to look after corruption & theft.'

The PM acceded to that man's subtle suggestion . Thus manhole thief got elevated from convict status to a cabinet rank minister.
