- He took it away, he took it away, catch it quickly! - the owner shouted to his servant.
The servant ran and caught up with the thief.
—Run, hide so that I can’t catch you. My master is a thief just like you.
The servant returned with nothing.
—Scoundrel, why didn’t you catch the thief? - the owner was indignant.
—You achieved your goal: you stole and stopped. And this thief ran away for his life, how could I catch up with him?
