Once, a priest was taking a lamb home. The priest was very happy. As the priest was taking the lamb home, three thieves saw him. They wanted the lamb for themselves and decided to fool the priest. The first thief approached the priest and asked him, “O Priest! Where are you taking the dog?” The priest replied, “I am taking a lamb, not a dog.” After some time, the second thief met him and asked, “Why are you walking with a deer?” The priest was confused but walked towards his house. A little later, the third thief asked, “Why are you taking a foal home with you?” The priest was smart. He understood what was going on. He said to the thief, “This is my pet lamb. If you think I am foolish enough to believe you then you are wrong.” The thieves understood that the priest was smart. They went away.
