Once, a hungry thief was travelling across the town when he saw an inn. So he went inside the inn. But he realised he did not have the money to pay for his food and he was very hungry. Suddenly, he saw the innkeeper wearing a brand new coat. The thief thought, ‘this coat looks expensive. If I steal it, I will be able to sell it for a good amount of money.’
Hence, the thief sat next to the innkeeper and started talking to him. The thief then yawned and howled like the wolf. The innkeeper looked in surprise and asked him, “Why are you howling like a wolf? Is everything all right with you?”
The thief replied, “I will tell you why I am yawning like a wolf. But first, hold my clothes before I tear them up. I have a disease. I turn into a wolf when I yawn three times and attack men.” While he was saying this, the thief yawned for the second time and howled loudly like a wolf. The innkeeper stood up on his feet and was ready to run when the thief held his coat.
“Where are you running? Please hold my clothes before I tear them into pieces,” said the thief. Now as the thief was yawning for the third time, he howled like a wolf louder than ever. The innkeeper was very scared and wanted to save his life. He took off the coat there and then and ran for his life.
The clever thief picked up the coat and happily walked out of the inn quickly.
