Hate makes us blind and this is what happened to the wise man. He couldn't believe that the rascal would be telling the truth. He didn't think that Rascal could actually tell the truth. Little did he know that this was rascal's strategy. He got so confused and full of hate that he got mad. This is the sad part of the story. He took care of the wellbeing of so many and then his own wisdom made him mad. But Rascal is very clever. He understood that the people will do what the wise man taught them and he used it for his own profit. I like that at the end he started to help people that he hurt in the past..
Thank you for sharing your story. I really like that you turned it into a mysterious legend :)
