The woodcutter went into the desert to gather wood to sell but took too long each day, returning after dark when his daughter had locked the door. A dervish told him the story of Mushkil Gusha, who removes difficulties, and said to help others on Friday evenings. The woodcutter prospered but forgot this. When falsely accused, he was imprisoned but helped a boy and recalled Mushkil Gusha, and fortunes were restored.
