Okay mummy replied Mary
On her way she saw a beautiful new born lamb it was white and had a brown face Mary love the lamb that she wanted it to be hers so she looked around and saw nobody and carried the lamb so she tied it near her house and went to buy the salt she was so happy to get the lamb then she got the salt loosen the lamb and went home (look at the conversation below)

Mom:- Mary where did you get this lamb I sent you salt and you brought a lamb how the hell could you did I teach you stealing?

Mary:- Oh mom this is the salt cook for me I'm famished I will tell you the story after I finish eating

Mom :- would you shut up your mouth and answer me when did you start stealing

Mary :- I bought the lamb with your change I saw it was beautiful then I bought it for myself I am sorry

Mom :- Take that lamb to where you saw it before you come I would have finished cooking

Mary ( leaves the house) and goes to her friend to help her keep the lamb but her friend said he is not a thief and he is not going to befriend a thief that he doesn't want trouble Mary leaves sadly then she thought but I want the lamb for myself she took the lamb to all her friends house and to no avail so an elderly man got familiar with the lamb and started screaming then she started running people now knew she has stolen the lamb and the scene was about her so they got the lamb from her and burnt a tyre on her neck and killed her her mother got the call and fainted

Moral :- Don't take what did not belong to you no matter how precious it is
