3．There once was a very honest shopkeeper whose business was to provide goods to the local people．He would open his shop at 8：00a．m．after having his breakfast and at 1：00p．m．he would go for lunch．In the evening at 8：30p．m．he closed his shop to complete his daily routine．
However，to get time for lunch was really difficult because he didn't have anybody to help him at that time．Therefore，it was his daily practice that whichever customer was shopping at 1：00p．m．would be asked to oversee （看管） the shop until the shopkeeper returned from lunch．
One day，a group of four thieves planned to steal from his shop while he was gone for lunch．One of the thieves went at 1：00p．m．to be the customer that would be asked to oversee the shop．
The thief，pretending to be a customer，went in at 1：00p．m．and started buying several items．As planned，the shop-keeper asked the thief to sit on his chair for thirty minutes until he returned from lunch．
Then，the other three thieves quickly came and told the pretend customer to help，but something had changed within him and he knew deeply in his heart that if he was given responsibility for the shop，he should not perform any dishonest acts during that time．His friends did not agree．As the honest man tried to stop them，they resisted （抵抗） and a fight started．And at the same time the shopkeeper returned and asked why there was a fighting．The honest man explained the entire plan．
