Once upon a time, a young girl adorned with a strand of precious pearls around her neck, a jade loop at her waist, and carrying a great deal of gold, was walking in the hills.
One day, she encountered a bandit and was terrified. Seeing her treasures, an evil thought occurred to him. Weapon in hand, he intended to rob her. The girl, scared out of her wits and trembling, quickly knelt before him. She begged piteously, even offering to become his concubine.
Yet, the atrocious bandit killed her in the end.
It is thus clear that one should never expect mercy from a bandit.
