The Rattrap
Did the peddler respect the confidence reposed in him by the crofter?
Or
How did the peddler betray the confidence reposed in him by the Crofter in the rattrap?
Of course not. The old crofter was a man of liberal beliefs. So he gladly allowed the stranger to stay in his cottage for the night. Not only that, he served him with supper and tobacco for his pipe, but amused him with the game of cards also. He showed him the thirty kroner from the pouch he received in payment for the cow's milk last month. But the peddler was a wretch-fellow. Both left the cottage at the same time. But half an hour later the peddler came, smashed the window frame and took out the thirty kroner notes from the pouch.
Thus, the peddler breached the confidence reposed in him by the crofter.
