How did the peddler prove false to his host
Answers
The peddler is a philosopher. He calls the world a rattrap. He happened to visit a cottage. An old man with no family was his host.
The old man was very happy to find a companion for the day. They became friends. The old man gave the peddler food and shelter that night.
The old man was so good to the peddler. But the peddler, even though a philosopher robbed the old man. This way he proved false to his host as the old man trusted and believed in the peddler.
Answer:
The peddler proved his host, the Ironmaster wrong. At the church it was announced that a peddler had stolen 30 kroner of the old crofter. The Ironmaster became worried as the peddler was staying at his home. He hurried home fearing by the time he would reach home, the peddler would have stolen many things from his house and escaped.
However, when he reached home and asked his valet if the peddler had gone and taken anything with him, he was surprised to know that the peddler had gone empty handed. He had rather left a gift for Miss Edla behind and a letter.
When Edla opened the gift, she found a rattrap in it. Inside the rattrap were a letter and thirty kroner. In the letter he had thanked Edla for treating him with respect; and thirty kroner were to be returned to the old crofter.
This really surprised the host.
