Once there lived a pious
brahmin in a village. He used
to perform religious rituals.
On one occasion he was
rewarded with a cow by a
rich man for his service. The
brahmin started to bring the
cow to his home. On the way,
three rogues saw the
brahmin bringing the cow.
They were lazy and wanted
to cheat the brahmin so that
they could take away the
cow. They hatched a plan.
The first person approached
the brahmin and said, "Are
you a washer man that
you're pulling a donkey." The
brahmin was annoyed at
being mistaken for a washer
man. He went on. A little later
he was met by the second of
the rogues. The second
person asked him why being
a brahmin he needed to pull
a pig. Now the brahmin was
confused but he went on.
Some distance later he was
met by the third person who
asked him why he was pulling
along a wild animal. Now the
brahmin was totally confused
and also afraid. He thought
that it was a devil animal
which took different forms.
He ran away leaving the cow
behind. The three tricksters
laughed at the brahmin at
having cheated the cow from
the brahmin.
Story moral: Believe your
own eyes than what you
hear.
