A Bedouin prince had three diamonds which he kept in a box with a sliding lid that he kept firmly closed. The box also contained two deadly cobras which would attack any stranger foolish enough to open the box. One day a thief sneaked into the prince's tent and within moments had safely stolen the diamonds. How did he do it?

Clue:
The thief did not use any special powers or materials (such as a flute) to subdue or control the snakes.

It takes a little brainpower to figure this one out....I will post the answer tomorrow...no one has it yet, though a couple are quite close. And yes, the thief is a total stranger-the prince would have no need to steal his own diamonds, now would he.

The thief was no stranger...the thief placed the box into a barrel of water and drown the snakes, then removed the diamonds and left the dead snakes in the box
