Once upon a time, a man was carrying a sheep. A hare saw him and wanted the sheep for himself. He took off his left shoe, kept it on the road and hid behind the bushes. The man saw the shoe and liked it. But, he did not need one shoe. The hare ran, put on his left shoe and kept the right one on the road. Now, when the man saw the right shoe, he thought, ‘Now, I shall take both and then I will have a good pair of shoes.’ He tied his sheep to a tree near the road, put the right shoe near the sheep and walked back to find the left shoe. The man looked for the left shoe, but could not find it. Meanwhile, the hare took the right shoe, untied the sheep and took it to his home. When the man came back, there was no sheep and no shoe. He cried out, “What a fool I am!”
