Q. 2. From where did the peddler get
the idea of the world being a rattrap?

his rattraps when suddenly he was struck by the idea that the whole world about
him was nothing but a rattrap. It existed only to set baits for people. It
offered riches and joys, shelter and food, heat and clothing in the same manner
as the rattrap offered cheese and pork, and as soon as anyone let himself be
tempted to touch the bait, it closed in on him, and then everything comes to an
end.

money, the peddler felt quite pleased with his cleverness. He decided to go to

way to get out of it.
Q. 5. What made the peddler finally change his ways?

life was meaningless and he was never welcomed by anyone. He was homeless. By
chance he met ironmaster and his daughter Edla. Because of Edla's selfless service and kind treatment, the peddler
decides to change his ways. This had great impact on his heart.

thank you note saying since she had been nice to him, so now on he would be a
