K continue] Days and night turn into months [ A notice that the hands of the watch are moving faster than before he even see the crops in the field start dying] The boy still believe that the rich man is planning something he try many times to stop everyone but no one believes in him . Due to frustration one day he confront the rich man he asked why you give us aid in return of nothing. Rich man said why not its just my way to repay for the kindness. Come on boy enjoy like others tell me what you want. The boy just walk away saying he is not going to accept anything from him . From that day the rich man cut off half the aid he sent monthly to the village. Due to this the villagers start ignoring the boy they even stop talking with him. He became a outsider in his own village. The villagers turn against him completely. One day the rich man announced that someone steal his money. [ K stop and point towards the village. A see the villagers burnt down a house. K with a heavy voice] Their hatred blind them and you can see the result . [ A try to speak but no words come out.
