Answer:
In a small village in India, there lived a Brahmin named Mitra. Once he went to a nearby village to visit a devotee. The devotee gave him a goat. The Brahmin decided to offer the goat as a sacrifice to the gods.
The Brahmin started his journey homewards. He carried the goat on his shoulders. Three crooks saw him. They made a plan to get the goat from the Brahmin.
The first crook stood in the Brahmin’s path. He said to him, “Ho Brahmin, why on earth are you carrying a profane dog on your shoulder ?” The Brahmin got angry. He said, “Are you blind ? Can’t you see that it’s a goat ?” The crook had played his part, and replied, “You may have it anyway you want.”
A little farther, the second crook approached and said, “Ho Brahmin, shame on you, why do you carry a dog ?” The Brahmin looked at him angrily, and he too went away. However, this time, the Brahmin had begun to doubt his own senses. After a while, the Brahmin met the third crook who said what the other two crooks had already said. The Brahmin threw his burden of the goat away and went ahead. The waiting crooks caught hold of the goat.
