Summary

This is the story of a very badly behaved man, how a young boy in the village hatches a plan to change the man's behavior--and how, with the help of the other villagers, the plan succeeds, to everyone's benefit. Children, of course, love the idea of an adult behaving badly. At the same time, the story helps them learn valuable lessons about initiative, negotiation, conflict resolution and cooperation.
