Nawab means 'rich one'. He has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it. One nawab had his servant cleaning a big, big crystal chandelier. So, as the servant was cleaning the crystal chandelier, a crystal fell, and as it crashed onto the marble floor it made an unusual tinkling sound, which the nawab heard from his room. The nawab came running out and asked, "What was that sound?" The servant was petrified and asked forgiveness. "I'm sorry," he said. "When I was cleaning the chandelier, one of the precious crystals fell and shattered on the floor. I am very sorry." The nawab said, "Oh, this is a very nice sound. Throw one more down." So the servant smashed another onto the floor. "Very nice sound," said the nawab. "Throw another one down." And so in this way, every single crystal of the chandelier was thrown and smashed on the ground. Because the nawab had so much money at his disposal, he could do anything he liked.
