A BOY who had been taught by his Mother to steal grew to be a man
and was a professional public official. One day he was taken in
the act and condemned1 to die. While going to the place of
execution he passed his Mother and said to her:
Behold2 your work! If you had not taught me to steal, I should not
have come to this.
Indeed! said the Mother. And who, pray, taught you to be
detected?
