The correct answer is B. Even though Ali has been spoiled and selfish, passersby are mean to him because they do not believe his father is sick. They suppose he is lying in order to take money out of people.

Actually, a person says "A dying father! There's a new one! What lies these pigs invent to take our gold."

Can someone please help me write a short story:) doesn’t have to be that long
drek231 [11]
I was sitting down on the plane at the window seat . I looked out the window and I froze. I knew I was afraid of heights, but not this much. I wanted to sit by my Mom, but I can’t because apparently I have a act like a adult because little brother got to sit next to my mom. By little I mean born 1 minute after me, because we’re twins. I asked the man seating beside me,” Excuse me, Sir.” However instead of getting up and letting me walk he replied,”What’s the reason, kid,” in a deep tone, as if he was mad at me . I said,” None of your business.” That really got to him so he put a bag on top of me. I was about to scream, but he got this tape from thin air and taped my mouth. When we got off the plane, he took me. That’s when the security guard caught him off guard and now he got arrested, and I reunited with my family.
