When a cattle thief was caught, the county magistrate gave him three choices: one was to be fined ten taels of silver, the other was to be beaten with twenty taels, or the third was to eat two kilograms of cow dung.
The thief was worried about money and disliked the smell of excrement. He relied on his youth and strength so he chose to fight. However, he couldn't bear it in the middle of the fight and switched to eating cow dung. After taking two mouthfuls, he vomited them all and could not eat anymore. In the end, he paid ten taels of silver. .
You have taken too many detours, just because you always want to take shortcuts without paying the price!
