Before long, he blushed and admitted that his real crime was theft. One night, he stole a bucket of milk from a landowner’s house. Before he was caught, the farm dog was giving birth to puppies. He thought the dog was cute, so he put down the bucket and couldn’t resist petting it. While he was happily playing with the dog, they caught him red-handed...
