But as soon as the thief saw him he called to him and said, "Why are you going, why did you come here?" He said, "I came here to get my purse back, but I found that I had given it to the very band from which I wanted to protect it." The chief said, "You gave me your purse, is it not so? You entrusted it to me, and it was not stolen from you. Did you not trust me? How can you expect me to take it from you? Here is your purse, take it." This act of trustworthiness impressed the robbers so much that they followed the example of their chief. They gave up robbery. It moved them to the depths of their hearts to feel what trust means. And in his later days this chief accomplished great spiritual work.
