After the children left him alone, Cho painfully got up from the field.
He then walked towards Kane’s house from the field where all this had happened.
Kane was shocked to see his brother like this.
Finally Cho told his brother all that had happened since the time that he had given his brother the rice seeds and Cho also told his brother about the dead silkworms.
The kind hearted Kane heard the entire story.
Finally Cho asked for forgiveness from his elder brother for his behaviour and said that he had learnt his lesson.
Kane came forward and rubbed the mallet on Cho’s nose.
Cho’ long nose gently shortened and the nose gradually became shorter and shorter and came back to its normal size.
Cho then went back to his own house promising himself to turn a new leaf.
After this whenever Cho had the idea to be selfish or dishonest his nose began to burn and grow.
So after this Cho’s nose was responsible to make him think and act right at all times and become a good person.
