There was a wrestler called Vijay Singh who could beat all other wrestlers in the world. He had a weakness which often landed him in problems. He was found of praising himself.
One day, he was sitting in the market with other men. After having many glasses of milk, he asked those men why they were afraid of ghosts. The wrestler said that he wanted to teach a lesson to a ghost.
People told him to Visit the Haunted Desert
People told him that if he walks along at night through the Haunted Desert, he will meet a ghost. Many travellers have been killed and looted by ghosts in the desert. Vijay did not believe their stories. The villagers gave him the full address. The place was ten miles away from Jaisalmer. The landmark was an ugly black rock.
The entire villagers came to bid him farewell. An old woman came and gave a packet to Vijay. He started his journey. He opened the packet after some time and found a lump of salt and an egg.

Vijay Met a Ghost
He heard a voice who called him by his name. He met the ghost whose name was Natwar. Vijay told the ghost to show him the way. He told the ghost that he was eager to meet him. The ghost was shocked because people are usually afraid of ghosts. Vijay called the ghost as stupid and worthless.
Vijay Displayed his Strength in Front of the Ghost
Vijay told the ghost to crush a piece of rock. The ghost could not crush it. Vijay demonstrated his strength by crushing what the ghost thought was a piece of rock. Vijay actually crushed an egg and fooled the ghost. Then he told the ghost to crush another stone which contains salt. The ghost could not crush the stone or the second time. Vijay took out the lump of salt and crushed it, conquering the ghost through cheating twice.
The ghost admitted of being defeated and invited Vijay to stay with him at night. Vijay said he would take the ghost as a prisoner to his village to prove his strength. The ghost planned to kill Vijay during the night at his place.
Vijay did not Sleep the Entire Night
The ghost fed Vijay fruits and gave him a luxurious bed to sleep. Vijay kept awake, listening to the snores of the ghost. Later, he placed pillows on the bed, making it look as if a man is sleeping on it. The ghost tried to kill Vijay by hitting the pillows with a stout club. Vijay saw everything. The ghost thought he has killed Vijay Singh.
The ghost was again cheated by Vijay. In the morning, the ghost was shocked to see Vijay alive. Vijay complained of insects, which troubled him throughout the night. The ghost could not believe his eyes and understood that Vijay was stronger than him. The ghost ran away, leaving all his property which made Vijay wealthy for life. Vijay later thanked the woman who gave him an egg and a lump of salt. He married the woman’s grand-daughter.
