The story also contains philosophies, one example is shown in this dialogue made by the priest; “Those of us who are Daoist priests have left our homes and given up all wealth. So when we see selfish behavior, it is hard for us to understand it.

The beadle of the town went to help so he bought the poor priest a pear. From his actions, we can immediately say that he’s doing the right thing.

As we can see from the story, the countryman is so self-centered that he didn’t even give a single pear that he could not sell and even cursed the priest for not moving out of his place. From this scenario, we can say that this character showed no empathy to the poor priest. People from their surrounding immediately saw that his behavior was wrong and they even convinced the countryman to give the priest a pear. They also made noises that let the beadle of the town find out what’s happening.
