The Butcher's Gun

Written story
A villager found a pistol in the dirt. Having never seen a firearm, he brought it to Mulla. "What is this?" Mulla inspected it. "It's a fancy European tobacco pipe." Excited, the man put the barrel in his mouth and tried to take a drag. The gun went off, and the man dropped dead. Mulla looked at the body, shook his head, and muttered, "Wow. That is some incredibly strong tobacco."
