Part 8/10:
The narrator reflects on the contrast between the "worldly wise" older brothers and the younger, seemingly naive hero. He suggests that excessive worldly knowledge sometimes detracts from moral clarity and simplicity, which are often more effective in discerning right from wrong. The tale advocates for a return to foundational virtues: responsibility, humility, courage, and moral integrity—values that are often overlooked in contemporary culture obsessed with superficial wisdom.
