At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the _________ he made with the prophet. “_________ tomorrow the prophet asks me where I have been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out __________? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, __________ will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be __________ for stealing.”
