Aesop's Fables

The Butcher And His Customers

Two Men were buying meat at a Butcher's stall in the market-place, and, while the Butcher's back was turned for a moment, one of them snatched up a joint and hastily thrust it under the other's cloak, where it could not be seen.
      
      When the Butcher turned round, he missed the meat at once, and charged them with having stolen it: but the one who had taken it said he hadn't got it, and the one who had got it said he hadn't taken it.
      
      The Butcher felt sure they were deceiving him, but he only said, "You may cheat me with your lying, but you can't cheat God, and He won't let you off so lightly."

Moral: Prevarication often amounts to perjury.
