Someone had stolen Hoca's donkey. He was hoping to hear some words of comfort from his friends, but instead he got an earful of talk like this:
"You should have locked the stable door."
"Didn't you hear anything?"
"You probably didn't tie up the donkey very well."
Hoca listened to them for as long as his patience would allow, and then finally said, "Enough is enough! You're blaming me for all this. In all fairness, was the thief guiltless?!"
