Question
What should the King have said to the Thief?
Advertisements
Solution
The King should have questioned the Thief about how a thief could be honest and hardworking. Furthermore, the King should have informed the Thief that what happened to his group resulted from their actions. Stealing is an unethical way of making money, and the King should have punished the Thief for his crime.
