Even though they both thought they were clever, they could still
be fooled. They learned that stealing from others doesn’t pay
and it is better to live an honest life.

Gives 4-5 details, such as:
The tiger froze. He thought he had been caught by the dreaded
Persimmon. He shot out of the shed and raced up the mountain
into the forest. In a patch of moonlight the thief saw the striped
skin of the tiger. He was terrified but couldn’t jump off because
the tiger would pounce on him. The tiger ran all through the
night and the thief hung on to his back. At dawn the thief saw a
low branch and scrambled up the tree. The tiger never looked
back and as long as he lived he never came near the village
again. The thief returned to his own village and never tried to
steal anything again. He lived an honest life as a farmer instead.
