One day, a thief was looking around to steal something. Suddenly, he saw an old man counting his money. The thief decided to involve the old man in a conversation and take away his money. He went to the old man and asked, “Old Man, why are you spreading bad things about me?” The old man said, “I do not even know you. How can I say anything about you? That cannot be true.” “Well then, if it is not you, it certainly must be your brother!” shouted the thief. “It cannot be for my brother died two years ago,” answered the old man. The old man was still puzzling over what the thief said when the thief retorted, “Never mind; I know it was definitely an old man like you.” Saying so, he snatched the old man’s money and ran away with it. The old man realized that he had been duped.
Moral: Bad people will find any excuse to do bad things.
