The Three Rogues
(ที่มา Hitopadesha)

One there was a Brahmin. Who bought a goat in another village, and carry it home on his shoulder, was seen by three rogues, who said to one another; “if by some contrivance that goat can be taken from him, it well by great pleasure to us.”
With this view they severally sat down in the road under three trees, at some distance form each other, by which the Brahmin was to pass. One of the scoundrels called out, as he was going by: ‘Oh Brahmin! Why dost you carry that dog on the shoulder?”
“It is not a dog”, answered the Brahmin, “it is a goat for a sacrifice.”
Then at a certain distance away, the second knave put the same question to him; which when the Brahmin heard, he threw his goat down on the grown, and looking at it again and again, placed it a second time on his shoulder, and walked on with a mind waving like a swing.
The Brahmin heard the same question from the third villain, was persuaded that the goat was really a dog and taking it form his back, threw it down, and having washed himself, returned to his home.
The three rogues took the goat to there own house and feasted on it.
Thence he who thinks a knave as honest as himself is deceived by him, like this Brahmin who was ruined.
