Naturally they were out of work. Out of frustration they hit upon a plan and went to the nearby town where nobody knew them. There they stole a purse of gold from a wealthy merchant’s chamber and took shelter in a distant forest. Weary of long journey they felt terribly hungry. They found nothing to eat. So they decided to send one of them to a nearby village for buying food for them. 
One of them readily agreed and set out in search of food while the other two remained in the forest to take care of the purse of gold. The thief that went out reached a food stall and finished his lunch. He bought food for the rest two who conspired to kill him to divide the gold between them two. 
On his way to the shelter in the forest he thought, “I’ll add poison to the food and become the owner of the purse.” So he mixed poison with the food and returned with joy. 
As soon as he reached with food they pounced on him and killed him instantly. Being very hungry they ate food and died. As soon as he reached with food they pounced on him and killed him instantly. Being very hungry they ate food and died. As a result, nobody could enjoy the stolen wealth.

The one who was sent to bring food had several thoughts in his mind about the bag of money. He said to himself, “How about I kill those two and get the money all to myself. I will be even more rich!” So he decided to poison the food and killing them. While here in the forest the other two had the same plan of murdering the one who had been sent to buy food.
Soon the friend who was sent to get food came back. The two friends murdered him and were very happy thinking that the money was all theirs.
