The Magic Sack
‘Know, 0 Fortunate Ones,’ Lateef said, as he sat in his retirement under a tree instructing novices, ‘that without thieves there would be occasions on this Earth of ours when justice is not done, and when the innocent suffer. In our very ancient thieves’ lore there is a moral tale Which has fortified the spirit and nourished the acquisitiveness of many a laggard in the ranks of thiefdom: helping to maintain our numbers and preventing the development of backsliding. This is the tale of the pious man and the thief.
