So the next day Bahlool went out on to the streets and ditched his rich life for rags. He would play in the streets with sticks and wheels and make small houses with mud like kids. The people were shocked at first, as Bahlool was by no means an ordinary person, but pretty soon they were laughing at him and called him ‘majnoon’ and all sorts. Thus the name Bahlool da’ana became his new name.
It is said that the Caliph knew why Bahlool was acting this way, but there was not much he could do to a man who ‘acted’ insane. Sometimes he acted just crazy, other times they were funny, but most of the times there was a purpose or meaning behind his action.
There are so many stories of Bahlools famous antics, the most famous being where he answered three questions with one clay stone. Heres one i can remember, and i'll post the others if i can find them.
