The thief was caught and tried. At the trial, witnesses convicted him. But the thief stood his ground, denied his guilt and said that he did not steal. “You’re being stubborn in vain,” said the judge, “confess, and the matter will be over.” You won't gain anything by saying no, we have six witnesses. - Six? - exclaimed the thief. - Do you have six witnesses who saw me steal? Do you want me to bring you one hundred and six witnesses who will confirm that they saw nothing!?
