कदाचित् गृहे उपविश्य नाणकानि गणयन्तं वणिजं दृष्ट्वा अद्य एतस्मात् गृहात् चोरणीयम् इति चोरः अचिन्तियत् । तम् चोरम् अकस्मात् वणिक् दृष्ट्वा 'एषः चोरः स्यात्, अद्य मम गृहमागत्य चोरयेत्' इति विचिन्त्य कमपि उपायं कृत्वा पत्नीम् अपि सूचितवान् । रात्रौ यदा चोरः आत्मानं गोपयित्वा गृहात् बहिः स्थितवान् आसीत् तदा पतिपत्न्योः मध्ये प्रचलितं सम्भाषणं श्रुत्वा चोरेण ज्ञातं यत् धनयुक्तः घटः निम्बवृक्षशाखायाम् अस्ति इति । यदा घटस्य आवरणस्य अन्तः हस्तम् प्रसारितवान् तदा तत्रत्याः वृश्चिकाः तम् अदशन् । सः उच्चैः विलपन् अधः पतित्वा ततः पलायनम् अकरोत् ।

One day, a thief saw a merchant sitting at home, counting his coins, and decided to rob him that very night. The merchant, noticing the thief, suspected his intentions and devised a plan, informing his wife as well. That night, as the thief hid outside the house, he overheard a conversation between the husband and wife, learning that a pot filled with wealth was hidden on a neem tree branch. Thinking he had uncovered the secret, the thief reached for the pot and inserted his hand inside. However, the pot was infested with scorpions, which stung him. Screaming in pain, he fell and fled, learning a painful lesson in deception.
