    The document compares and contrasts the conclusions of the short stories "Out of Business" and "Father's Help" from Malgudi Days. Both stories end with a dialogue, but "Father's Help" is considered more effective because it shows the negative consequences of the main character's lies, while "Out of Business" relies on unrealistic luck for a positive ending. The conclusion of "Father's Help" is more impactful because it demonstrates that lying has costs, unlike "Out of Business" which uses improbable events to resolve the plot.
