Ramadan, are you familiar with the tales of the unexpected film about the English prospector who found a?

perfect statue of a woman in an airtight crypt. He was in Egypt and knew that there were strict laws regarding artifacts (I think it was Egypt i was very young at the time) so he decided to put the statue in the back of the truck and make a run for the border. The journey was a long one and the rain pelted them from every angle.........as they approached the border the prospector hoped that he would not be stopped but the Egyptian border Guard had different ideas and flagged them over. Through the driving rain the man was led to the back of his uncovered truck and he was sure that the border guard would see the statue and either arrest or shoot him.. The guard was suspicious about the soaking wed tarpaulin covering a mound in the back of the truck, grabbed it and pulled it off!......all that could be seen where the beautiful statue once lay was a pile of sand.......the guard stuck his fingers into it and put them in his mouth and laughed and cried 'SALT'! ....Which Koran/Bible story could you relate this too (if any)?
