Fable 6: The Stained Hands

A man entered a garden and, seeing some delicious mulberries, picked and ate them. The owner of the garden ran up to him and asked, “What do you have in your hands?”

The man replied, “There is nothing in my hands.”

The owner of the garden then said, “So why are your hands stained?”

--Genesis Rabbah 22:9
