  You are correct.  I forgot that "li mu" would be considered the argument
of "a"

      In any case, the original English version is "Stealing is stealing,
whether it's five cents or a nickel"  This caused us kids to snicker.  My
mother admitted she meant to say "...a dime", but we always liked the
as-said version better and used it often.  And we have tried to always live
by it and impart to our children the importance of being scrupulous to not
take more than they are entitled, even by accident (i.e. undercharged by a
merchant, or given too much change from a purchase)
