One night, a thief broke into a house. While he was trying to open the safe, the lady of the house woke up. Instead of screaming, she calmly said, "Oh brother, wait a second! Before you open that, could you check this lottery ticket for me? I can't figure out if I won 10 million or 100 million!"
Greed took over the thief. He thought the lottery money would be much better than some old jewelry. He asked, "Where is the ticket?"
The woman replied, "It's in the kitchen cabinet. In all the excitement, I've lost my glasses. Could you please read it for me?"
As soon as the thief entered the kitchen, the woman locked the door from the outside. She then called the police and said, "Come quickly, I've caught a huge rat in my kitchen!"
As the police were taking him away, the thief muttered to himself, "Trying to read a lottery ticket out of greed was the biggest mistake of my life!"
