One man had a home idol. Every day the owner sacrificed a ram or a goat to the idol. In the end he was left without livestock, lost everything he had, and began to complain. One night an idol appeared to this man in a dream and said:
“You yourself destroyed your flock, and yet you reproach me.”
This fable refers to those people who, through their own fault, turn into beggars, and then blame fate and the Almighty for everything.
