With this speech he commenced a second fit of yawning and again howled

like a wolf, as he had at first. The Innkeeper, hearing his tale and
believing what he said, became greatly alarmed and, rising from his
seat, attempted to run away. The Thief laid hold of his coat and
entreated him to stop, saying, “Pray wait, sir, and hold my clothes, or
I shall tear them to pieces in my fury, when I turn into a wolf.” At
the same moment he yawned the third time and set up a terrible howl.
The Innkeeper, frightened lest he should be attacked, left his new coat
in the Thief’s hand and ran as fast as he could into the inn for
safety. The Thief made off with the coat and did not return again to
the inn.

Every tale is not to be believed.
