Answer 1

Hey there!!!

===========================

After stealing the crofter's money, the rattrap peddler did not think it proper to walk on the public highway. So he turned off the road , into the forest. But he got entrapped in a big and confusing forest. He tried to walk in a definite direction, but the paths twisted back and forth in a strange manner. 
He walked and walked without without coming to the end of the forest. 
Finally, he realised that he had only been walking around the the same part of the forest. 
Then he recalled his thoughts about the world and the rattrap. Now, his own turn had come. 
The rattrap peddler thus thought that he had indeed fallen into a rattrap from which he might not be able to escape.
