What made the peddler fall into a rattrap?
(The Rattrap, English XII)
Solution
The peddler had stolen thirty kronor from the crofter’s home. He realised that he must not walk on public highway with the stolen money. So, he decided to walk through the forest to avoid the public highway. However, he got lost in the forest which was a maze. He then realised that he had fallen into a rattrap. He got himself befooled by the bait which was the money and his end was near as there was no way out at that moment.
