Thief
Once upon a time, there was a thief. Every night, he jumped over the wall into a wealthy man's garden and stole his fruit. The wealthy man became aware of this and decided to put an end to it. He went to the market and bought a big, fierce dog.
That night, when the thief jumped over the wall, the dog started barking. The thief tried to run away, but the dog chased him and caught him by the leg. The thief cried out in pain, "Please let me go. I promise to never come back again."
The wealthy man heard the commotion and called out to the thief, "I will let you go, but only if you promise to stop stealing from me and turn over a new leaf."
The thief agreed, and the wealthy man kept his promise. From then on, the thief never stole again and became an honest man.

盗贼
从前,有一个盗贼。每天晚上,他翻越墙壁来到一个富人的花园,偷走他的水果。这个富人注意到了这一点,并决定要结束这个局面。他去市场买了一只凶猛的大狗。
那天晚上,盗贼翻越墙壁时,狗开始狂吠。盗贼试图逃走,但狗追赶他,并抓住了他的腿。盗贼痛苦地喊道:“请放过我。我保证不再回来了。”
富人听到了这个喧闹声,向盗贼呼喊:“我会放你走,但你必须承诺不再偷我东西,并走上正路。”
盗贼同意了,富人也守信用。从那时起,盗贼再也没有偷过,并成为了一个诚实的人。
