In a village by the Ganges, there once lived a Brahmin. He was a religious and God fearing man. He
earned his living by performing prayers in other people's home. One day the Brahmin was called to the
neighbouring village to perform some ceremony. In return for his service, he received a goat as a present.
The Brahmin was very pleased and he set off for his home with the goat on his shoulders. He thought to
himself "This was a generous family to have given me a goat. My wife and children will be very pleased."
As he walked down the path to his village, he did not notice that he was being followed by three thieves.
L"We have to get that plump goat," said the first thief. It will make a great dinner for us," said the second
thief. "We need to think of a plan fast," said the third. The three thieves then decided to fool the Brahmin.]
The first thief approached the Brahmin and said, "Dear Brahmin, you are a holy man. Why are you carrying
dirty dog on your shoulder?" "A dirty dog?" "Can't you see that it is a poor little goat. Are you blind?"
said the Brahmin angrily. The first thief laughed and walked away.
.
The Brahmin looked at the goat. Indeed it was a goat, and so he resumed his journey homeward. A little
further down the path, the Brahmin came across the second thief. The second thief said in astonishment,
"You are a holy man. Why are you carrying a dead calf on your shoulders?" The Brahmin was furious, "This
is a live goat and not a dead calf."
The Brahmin had barely walked some distance when the third thief came running waving his arm towards
the Brahmin "Drop the donkey at once. If people see you carrying a donkey on your shoulders, what will
they think of you?" By now the Brahmin was very confused. Three different people had told him that he
was carrying an animal other than the goat. Something must be wrong, he thought. "This is not a goat;
this must be some monster that keeps changing its form." "The Brahmin became terrified, threw the goat
and ran home as fast as he could.
The three thieves had a great laugh. They had succeeded in their plan. They picked up the goat and left.
How foolish the Brahmin had been to have believed them!
