There was a certain Brahman in a certain village, named Harisarman. He was poor and foolish and in evil case for want of employm

ent, and he had very many children, that he might reap the fruit of his misdeeds in a former life. He wandered about begging with his family, and at last he reached a certain city, and entered the service of a rich householder called Sthuladatta. His sons became keepers of Sthuladatta's cows and other property, and his wife a servant to him, and he himself lived near his house, performing the duty of an attendant. One day there was a feast on account of the marriage of the daughter of Sthuladatta, largely attended by many friends of the bridegroom, and merry-makers. Harisarman hoped that he would be able to fill himself up to the throat with ghee and flesh and other dainties, and get the same for his family, in the house of his patron. While he was anxiously expecting to be fed, no one thought of him.
Then he was distressed at getting nothing to eat, and he said to his wife at night, "It is owing to my poverty and stupidity that I am treated with such disrespect here; so I will pretend by means of an artifice to possess a knowledge of magic, so that I may become an object of respect to this Sthuladatta; so, when you get an opportunity, tell him that I possess magical knowledge." He said this to her, and after turning the matter over in his mind, while people were asleep he took away from the house of Sthuladatta a horse on which his master's son-in-law rode. He placed it in concealment at some distance, and in the morning the friends of the bridegroom could not find the horse, though they searched in every direction. Then, while Sthuladatta was distressed at the evil omen, and searching for the thieves who had carried off the horse, the wife of Harisarman came and said to him, "My husband is a wise man, skilled in astrology and magical sciences; he can get the horse back for you; why do you not ask him?"

When Sthuladatta heard that, he called Harisarman, who said, "Yesterday I was forgotten, but to-day, now the horse is stolen, I am called to mind," and Sthuladatta then propitiated the Brahman with these words—"I forgot you, forgive me"—and asked him to tell him who had taken away their horse. Then Harisarman drew all kinds of pretended diagrams, and said: "The horse has been placed by thieves on the boundary line south from this place. It is concealed there, and before it is carried off to a distance, as it will be at close of day, go quickly and bring it." When they heard that, many men ran and brought the horse quickly, praising the discernment of Harisarman. Then Harisarman was honoured by all men as a sage, and dwelt there in happiness, honoured by Sthuladatta.

Now, as days went on, much treasure, both of gold and jewels, had been stolen by a thief from the palace of the king. As the thief was not known, the king quickly summoned Harisarman on account of his reputation for knowledge of magic. And he, when summoned, tried to gain time, and said, "I will tell you to-morrow," and then he was placed in a chamber by the king, and carefully guarded. And he was sad because he had pretended to have knowledge.
What could be said to be the implied moral of this story?
A) Life is what you make it.
B) Everyone deserves a second chance.
C) One shouldn't judge a person by appearances.
D) Deceitful deeds have consequences.

Answer:

A) Sthuladatta ignores Harisarman, except when he feels he needs him.

This Indian tale named “Harisarman” is about a village Brahmin who becomes wealthy and popular with his fate. Though he was poor and foolish at the beginning of the story but later turns to be a cunning person. He plays along with his fate to develop his fame among the villagers and Sthutadatta. Sthutadatta gave shelter and job to Harisarman and his family. Harisarman took offense when Sthutadatta forgot to feed him in the feast. He apologized to him and asked his favor to search the horse through his magical powers. Later in the story, Harisarman was called when robbery started to happen in the town. After he would solve the problem he was usually rewarded.

Here is a base paragraph you can wok off of:

My life style is healthy because I exercise and eat as healthy as I can. I could probably eat more greens to improve my eating habits, and be on devices less though. I am also physically active every day. Something that prevents me from making these changes is lack of motivation because of everything that is going on in the world. To help stick to my goal, I can think of something that will motivate me for example, thinking about how I can become healthier by having better habits. It is sometimes hard to stay motivated, but I try my best.

Please consider giving brainliest, I hope this helps you out love! <3
