There once was a very wise and humble hermit who lived in a secluded land. One day some thieves came upon this hermit's dwelling, which was quite frugal to begin with. As the thieves started to carry off the few possesions from the little hut, the humble hermit came back from his stroll and, at once, began to assist the men with their robbery. After they finished he bid them farewell and went inside the hut. After a few minutes, these thieves came back in a hurry and begged this man with a glow in his face to hide them from a lion which was coming that way.
