Answer 2

He was cheated by the thug due to his honesty and simplicity.

• The question has been asked from the story Bellows for the Bullock.
• A poor but clever and diligent farmer saved fifty rupees to buy an ox and form a pair of oxen with another poor peasant in the hamlet.
• He stopped at house of an apparently well-off farmer who turned out to be a gangster with four rough boys on his way back. They immediately devised a scheme to capture the impoverished farmer.
• He was asked to sell bullock and farmer eventually consented to sell it but they claimed the price to be too expensive. The old bandit refused the offer, but farmer persuaded him to announce a reasonable bullock price. The poor farmer had been caught in a bind.
• He quoted a price of two and a half rupees. The farmer had no choice but to accept this price because he had already committed himself. He returned to his house, duped, depressed, and enraged.
