Please answer in short

Why did the daimio reward the farmer, but punish his neighbour for the same act?

Of unit 4 CH 1 in English ncert textbook

Dear student,

Here is the answer:

The daimio rewarded the farmer, but punished his neighbour for the same act because: 

When the old farmer, taking a pinch of ashes from his basket, scattered it over the tree, it burst into blossom. Seeing this the delighted daimio thanked the old farmer and rewarded him. He even invited him to his castle.

On the other hand when the greedy neighbour took some magic ashes and  threw a handful of it over the tree, nothing happened to it.  Moreover, the wind blew the fine dust of the ashes in the noses and eyes of the daimio and his wife. Daimio was very angry as it spoiled the dignity of the procession. 

Regards
