On the way he decided to take the road through the forest to avoid police and lost his way in the confusing forest. He fell down and thought his end had come. He realized he too was in a rattrap. While lying down, the peddler heard the sounds from an iron mill. He got up with all his strength and walked to that direction. He reached an iron mill and took shelter near the fire inside the mill and soon fell asleep.
While the peddler was sleeping, the owner of the mill, the iron-master, happened to reach there. The Iron-master came close to him and noticed his face. He misunderstood him to be his lost army friend Nils Olof, a captain. The Iron-master woke him up and asked him to come home with him. Though this misunderstanding would have helped the peddler to get some money, he refused to go with the Iron-master out of fear and suspicion. The Iron-master gave up and went home and sent his daughter Edla to persuade the peddler. Edla Willmansson came to the iron-mill and with her innocent, loving words and manner, took the peddler home.
Next morning the peddler was washed, shaved and dressed up and was brought to the presence of the Iron-master. To the Iron-master’s horror, he noticed that the peddler was not his friend and he realized his mistake. He asked the peddler to get out of his home. Surprisingly, Edla Willmansson was a good person. She felt sympathy for the peddler and requested her father to allow him stay for Christmas that day. The Iron-master unwillingly complied to his daughter and the peddler was allowed to stay for Christmas. The whole day and night he ate and slept. He was never before so much happy, so much at peace, so much fed. He felt important. He distinguished between the dirty life of a peddler and the decent life of a respected captain. He wished to be a decent, respected man.
Next morning the Iron-master and Edla went to the church, leaving the peddler at home with the servants. In the church they heard a bad news from the crofter that a peddler selling rattraps had stolen his hard earned 30 kronor. Father and daughter immediately returned from the church and reached home fearing that the peddler would have robbed their house.
They reached home and saw that the peddler had gone. They were given no shock. They were greatly surprised to see that the peddler had not taken anything from their home and that he had left a rattrap as a gift for Edla and the money he had stolen from the crofter and a letter revealing his change.
