English	EN KB 2018 one-vol: The cowherd women of Vṛndāvana complained to Mother Yaśodā that Kṛṣṇa and His brother Balarāma would secretly enter their homes to steal the yogurt and butter they stored in pots hanging from the ceiling.
English	EN SB 10.2 1977: Sometimes Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma would secretly enter the storeroom, steal yogurt and butter, and feed it to the monkeys. On one such occasion Mother Yaśodā caught Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma in the act. Kṛṣṇa was standing on an upside-down wooden grinding mortar, distributing the yogurt and butter to the monkeys as He liked, and Balarāma was hiding behind a pillar. When the two boys saw the stick in Mother Yaśodā’s hand, They began to look at her with great anxiety, as if They were afraid she would chastise Them.
