Question
Bring out the difference between the two neighbours with suitable examples to support your view.
Solution
The two neighbours in the story are of opposite characters. One old man was honest and kind. The other old man was cruel and wicked. He borrowed the dog to use it and become rich. But it did not come true. So he killed it and burnt it. The dog's ashes had the power to revive dead trees. The cruel old man wanted to use it to become rich.
But he failed and he was beaten almost to death by the Prince's retainers. They are similar to the two women who came to King Solomon's court. Both the women claimed to be the mother of a living child. The king ordered the servant to cut it into two with a sword.
The false mother opted to take one half of the baby. But the true mother requested the king not to cut and kill the baby. She asked the king to give the baby to the other woman. The king caught the wicked woman. The child was restored to the real mother. The wicked woman was punished by the king.
