What made the paddler finally change …

Edla's behavior,the love and affection given by edla to the peddler finally change his way.....

The peddler besides selling small rattraps of wire was a pretty thief also. He stole thirty kronor from the house of the crofter, who was kind enough to allow him to stay in his house for a night and showered his best possible hospitality on him. But it was the compassionate, kind, generous and friendly behaviour of Edla Willmansson, the ironmaster's daughter, which finally changed him.  The ironmaster had invited him to his house thinking that he was an old regimental comrade. When he realised that the peddler was not his old acquaintance, but a stranger, he asked him to leave the house immediately. But Edla showing sympathy and pity on him, persuaded her father to allow him to spend the Christmas with them. Thus her behaviour aroused his conscience and he gave her gift of a rattrap and requested her to return the thirty kronor of the crofter which he had stolen. Regards: Ruhanika105(Brainly.com)
