Then he decided to go visit him.
He arrived at his friend's house and started bragging again.
He pointed to his cow and said, "Look how good a calf I bought, you will never have such a good calf in your life.
The shoemaker master had an apprentice named Lisi.
He looked at the calf, tsk-tsk praise, said, the calf is really good, but you have to be careful not to be stolen by others on the road.
Zhang San smiled and said, if it is you the calf of course will be stolen, but no one can fool me. After saying that he said goodbye and went home.
Lisi decided to teach the man who talked big a lesson, he picked up a new pair of shoes to take a shortcut, rushed to the front of Zhang San. Lisi threw a shoe on the road and hid on the side of the road.
Not long after, Zhang San proudly led the calf to come.
He saw a new shoe on the road, but once he thought there was only one, he ignored it. After walking two or three hundred steps, he saw another new shoe and regretted not picking it up. The one just now.
So he tied the calf under a tree and went back to pick up the first shoe.
The shoe was still there, he picked it up and hurried back, but the calf was gone.
He searched for half a day and did not find, afraid to go back to a bad account, so he went back to the city, the apprentice has long since stolen the calf back, and told the master to catch Zhang San.
The two laughed for a long time, not long, Zhang San came to the cobbler smiled, and asked, "Where did your calf go? Zhang San still refused to tell the truth, the cobbler called the apprentice, leading out his calf.
