Once upon a time, there was a con man who was smooth-talking and had swindled a lot of money. He frequented taverns, dressed well, but his manner was frivolous. One day, he met an honest farmer in a tavern. The farmer, impressed by his appearance, asked him for information. The con man, seeing the farmer's honesty, smoothly told him of a way to get rich, saying that he had mastered a secret method, where a small amount of money could bring huge returns. The farmer believed it, took out all his savings and gave it to him. After the con man got his hands on it, he quickly left the tavern, leaving the farmer alone to regret. The con man used all sorts of smooth-talking tactics, successfully deceiving the honest man. This con man's story warns us to be vigilant and not to believe those who are smooth-talking.
