A man whose axe was missing suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his axe while he was digging in the valley, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked, and spoke like any other child.
A man believed that his neighbor's son had stolen his axe based on the boy's demeanor and appearance. The boy's suspicious behavior led the man to view him as a thief. However, this perception changed when the man discovered his axe while digging and realized it had merely been misplaced.
The next encounter with the neighbor's son revealed a different side to the boy, who now seemed just like any other child. This change illustrates how our biases can alter our perceptions, leading us to make unfair judgments based on circumstantial evidence.
