The cadi gets drunk one hot night, falls down in orchard by road, and cast soff his fine cloak and turban, lying there naked. Nasruddin and disciple comes by; Nasruddin takes cloak and turban. Cadi announces the theft of cloak and turban next day; wearing them, Nasruddin is arrested. "Do you claim this cloak and turban are yours?" Nasruddin admits they are not; he says he found them next to a drunken man. To protect him from robbers, Nasruddin took cloak and turban and would like to return them. As a result, the cadi cannot claim them; Nasruddin gets to keep them.
