A few thieves came to steal from a house and found nothing but a single rooster. When he brought the rooster and went to slaughter it, he started begging them, saying, "Don't kill me, brother, I do good to people." I called them before dawn to wake them up so that they could work harder.
A thief said - Hey fool, that's why we need to kill you first. If they wake up, they will not get a chance to steal.
Principle: There is no escape from the hands of miscreants even if they benefit.
