A farmer went into the city to sell donkeys and goats. A small bell is tied around the goat's neck. Three thieves saw it, and one said, "I'm going to steal the sheep, but the farmer can't find it."
Another said, "I'm going to steal the donkey from the farmer." The
third said, "None of them. Difficult, I can steal all the clothes from the farmer." The
first thief quietly approached the goat at the turn of the road, untied the bell, tied it to the tail of the donkey, and led the goat away. The farmer looked around and found that the goat was missing, so he began to look for it.
At this time the second thief walked up to the farmer and asked him what he was looking for. The farmer said that he had lost a goat. The thief said: "I saw your goat. A man walked into this woods with a goat just now. Now he can still catch him." The
farmer begged the thief to help him lead the donkey and chase the goat himself. . The second thief took the opportunity to lead the donkey away.
When the farmer came back from the woods, he saw that the donkey was gone, so he cried as he walked on the road.
As he walked, he saw a person sitting by the pond, crying too. The farmer asked him what happened.
The man said: "They let me put a bag of gold to go to the city, it is tired, I sit and rest in the pond, asleep, sleeping bag push to put into the water."
The farmer Ask him why he didn't go down and fish up his pocket.
The man said: "I'm afraid of water, because I can't swim. Whoever fishes this bag of gold will give him twenty ingots of gold." The
farmer was overjoyed and thought: "Because someone else stole my goat. And the donkey, God gave me happiness." So he took off his clothes and dived into the water, but he couldn't find the bag of gold anyway. When he climbed up from the water, he found that his clothes were missing. It turned out that the third thief stole his clothes.
These are the three major traps in life: carelessness, credulity, and greed.
