A man was returning home after buying a lamb. A rabbit saw him and exclaimed, “What a nice lamb! I wish I had a lamb like that.”
The rabbit ran ahead, left his left shoe on the road and hid behind a bush. The man reached and saw the shoe, “What a lovely shoe! But what shall I do with one pair?” He walked on. The rabbit put on the shoe and ran ahead.
He kept his right shoe on the road and hid again.
“Here’s the other shoe,” the man said on reaching the spot. “Let me go and fetch the other pair. I’ll have a new pair of shoes.”
The man tied his lamb to a tree and went back to fetch the shoe…
The rabbit emerged from the bush, untied the lamb, put on his right shoe and left with the lamb…
The man exclaimed when he returned ,”Both my lamb and shoes are gone.” ” Oh how stupid I am “
