Question

Why did the peddler keep quiet when he was misidentified by the owner of the mill?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Peddler was a vagabond, who went around selling rattraps. One day, as he was simply thinking about his own rattraps, he was struck by the idea that the world was a big rattrap. The riches, food, joys and shelter served as baits to tempt people just as a rattrap offered cheese or meat to tempt rats.
