"This is a nice coat. Can I have a feel of it?" the thief asked. "Go on, try it!" said the traveller.

The thief took the coat and suddenly yawned. There was a howling sound when the thief yawned. The amused traveller asked, "Why are you howling when you yawn?" The thief said, "Sorry, I should have told you. But, I thought you would be frightened. You see, if I yawn thrice at a stretch, I turn into a wolf and kill anyone in front of me." The traveller looked bewildered. The thief yawned again for the second time. The howling sound came again. The traveller looked still bewildered. The thief was about to yawn the third time. He stood up and was ready to run away with the coat. He thought that the traveller would also run away. Instead, the traveller took a pair of handcuffs and locked the thief's hands.
