On a quiet night, a thief tiptoed into the home of a wealthy merchant. He carefully avoided anything that might make a sound, afraid of alarming anyone. He tiptoed through the living room and came to the bedroom door. He gently pushed open the door and found the merchant sound asleep in bed. The thief didn't immediately act, but stood quietly there, observing the surroundings. After a while, he quietly left the merchant's house, empty-handed. Although he successfully avoided the merchant's guards, his heart was filled with unease. He knew that his stealthy behavior had not brought him any benefit, but had made him even more uneasy.
