After being caught red-handed by the caretaker stealing from a neighbor, the young men of the village were quick to gather, ready to take matters into their own hands.

Fueled by anger and a desire for swift justice, they considered lynching the thief to send a strong message to others. However, before things could escalate, the elders stepped in, urging calm.

They reminded the young men that while the thief’s actions were wrong, violence was not the way to handle the situation. Instead, the elders opted for a more traditional approach.

Gathering the thief in the village square, they decided to teach him a lesson using methods passed down through generations.

The thief was made to face the consequences of his actions in a manner that ensured he would learn from his mistakes but still have a chance to reform.

The elders believed in discipline that instilled a sense of shame and responsibility rather than resorting to brutal punishment.
