True? 

Once upon a time a man whose axe was missing  suspected his neighbor's son. The boy walked like a thief, looked like a thief, and spoke like a thief. But the man found his axe while digging in his garden, and the next time he saw his neighbor's son, the boy walked, looked and spoke like any other child.
