my translation of a Chinese fable,please help revise it if there's any mistake A farmer went into a town to sell a donkey and a goat. There was a small bell on goat’s neck. Three thieves have seen them, and one thief said, "I can steal the goat without being found by the farmer." Another said: "I will steal the donkey from the farmer’s hand." The third said: "Both of your jobs are not difficult, but I can steal all clothes on the farmer." The first thief crept closer to the goat. He secretly untied the bell and fastened it to the tail of the donkey, then took the goat away. Looking around in a turning, the farmer found the goat missing, and he started his search. At this time, the second thief walked to the front of the farmer, asked him what to look for. The farmer said he lost a goat. The thief told him, "I have seen a person holding a goat into the forest. You are still able to catch him." The farmer entreated the thief to help him hold his donkey, and then he began running after his goat. The thief took the opportunity of stealing the donkey. Back from the woods, the farmer found the donkey was gone. He walked and cried on the road. As he walked, suddenly, he saw a man sitting at the pond, crying, too. The farmer asked him what happened. The man said, "Somebody asked me to bring a bag of gold to town. I was tired on the way and stopped for a rest at the pond. I unconsciously push the bag into the pond as I was sleeping.” The farmer asked why he didn't get it out. The man replied, “Because I can't swim.I would like give twenty gold ingots to anyone who will help me". The farmer exulted to think that because of the stolen goat and donkey, god is going to bless me with a happy life. Hence, he took off his clothes and dived in the water, but he could find nothing. When he went up, he found his clothes gone as well. It is the third thief that stole his clothes. This is the three traps in one’s life: carelessness, credulousness, and greed.
