Answer: Yes, If punishments were harsh enough, there would probably be no crime.
Explanation: If people who disobeyed the law were strongly punished, then it would be less likely that people would break the rules of the government. Less people would speed, and more people would probably start being more serious about it. For example, crimes like bank robberies would probably become less likely if they had to pay off all of the money they stole. Being punished for certain things could be harsher. If this happens, the amount of crime will probably decrease, but it will not completely disappear. This is why I think If punishments were harsh enough, there would be no crime.
The story is about Mallam Sile, a blind tea seller who went abroad in search of money to help his parents, but while he was doing that, his parents died. He didn't go to the funeral, but continued saving money. Everybody took advantage of him at his work, because he was blind, but he kept treating everyone with respect nevertheless. He is a romantic, sings songs about finding true love. He manages to save enough money to come back home and open a tea shop. He married, and his wife took great care of him, even beating a guy who didn't want to pay him his debt. After that incident, people started respecting him, and he thanked Allah for the good life he had, as well as a great wife.
