Answer:
Ans-The rattrap peddler was a tall man who had his own imagination and meditation. Instead of flowing some goodness in him he had the human weakness of petty thievery and begging to keep his body and soul together. He wore rags and hunger gleamed in his eyes. He went round selling self made small rattraps of wire. Devoid of any sheltering place, he could spend his night any where he desired. Mostly he came across sour faces and was a victim of cruel circumstances. He could knock at the door of any person for his night shelter.
He philosophises his existence and inside the world as a big rattrap. According to him all the riches, joys, food, clothing, shelter are just baits. Anyone who touches the bait, the rattrap closes on him. Then everything comes to an end. He stole away the thirty kronor of the crofter although the latter offers him supper, bed and shelter. With that money he reaches the Ramsjo ironworks and the ironmaster mistook him as his old acquaintance. With the persuasion of Edla, the ironmasters daughter, the peddler accepted the invitation for the Christmas cheer. When the ironmaster realised his mistake about the peddler he ordered him to go. Edla intercede and took him to the breakfast table. Her sympathy, noble attitude, open heartedness, hospitality and kindness had a significant impact on the peddler. While leaving, he left behind a Christmas present for Edla, thirty kronor for crofter and a letter stating that her nobleness had given him a chance to cleanse himself.
