His father was very angry and scolded Monu, but Monu didn't back

down. He pointed out how his father's behavior was no different from his
own - both motivated by greed. Monu left some money for his father as a

bribe, just like the headman did to others.

The headman was deeply ashamed of himself and realised he couldn't

blame Monu for behaving like him. He promised to change his ways from

that day forward. Monu, too, realised his mistakes and apologised to his
father.
