Question

why did he show the thirty kroner to the peddler

Answer 1

he show thirty kroner to the paddler as he had no one to share his achievements and his feelings as he was a lonely person . first time he got a chance to share his feelings with someone.

Answer 2

Hey !!

The old crofter was just as generous with his confidence as with his porridge. He told him about the thirty kronor he received as payment last month from the creamery and went up the window frame to take down a leather pouch to show him the money. He did this perhaps to set a bait for the peddler or because the peddler seemed incredulous.

Good luck !!
