In the story "The griffin and the minor canon" by Frank Stockton, The townspeople are scared of the griffin and terrified that he would hurt their children, They only think of themselves and are cowardly, they sent the minor canon to the griffin. The minor canon was kind, hence the griffin follows the minor canon around.
Explanation:
The towns people then send the minor canon into the wilderness because they believe the griffin will follow him there. the griffin did not know the where about of the minor canon. the griffin then started helping out with the teaching that minor canon did. later the townspeople admitted to griffin that they sent minor canon to the evil forest. This revelation by the townspeople made the griffin furious, then he went and saved the minor canon.
This story teaches that everybody deserves respect, nobody in the town respects minor canon but he work all the time and teaches the bad children. Although the griffin is frightening, but means no harm to the townspeople.
