    The story teaches us a great moral lesson. It
    teaches us that if we are generous and kind,
    we can win the hearts of everybody. It is our
    good behavior with others that prompts them
    to leave their bad habits. Secondly, the story
    teaches us not to adopt evil ways to meet our
    needs.
