    Owen Weimaraner stole the diamonds of the table. This is a fact because, if everyone had left the table in the same motion, nothing would’ve been knocked off the table in his spot. Owen’s seat had his napkin and spoon knocked off the table. Also, his chair wasn’t fully pushed over like the others. This shows that Owen Weimaraner stood up slowly, grabbed his diamonds, and knocked his napkin and spoon off the table in the process. Next, if someone else were to steal the diamonds, Owen could’ve sued them for taking the diamonds and gotten a lot of money. Owen knew this and it is exactly why he stole his own diamonds. He could accuse one of the people sitting with him for taking the diamonds and he would’ve gotten some money. This shows that he…

    The woman presses charges against the thief. Then after seeing the thief at the market using the stolen money to buy a coffin for his son, she decides to drop the charges. For example, she says, "Can I pay for the young man's fine or give him the money to return and thus erase the crime?" When the thief finds out that the charges are going to be dropped, he says, "I do not need the American senora to bury my child. If I pay for his funeral by spending six months in prison, that is my choice. I am the father. If the senora cannot understand this, it is not my concern." In other words, the thief will pay for his son's death by going to jail before having an American woman paying for his son's death. The thief learns that he should have earned the money to buy his son's coffin by himself. Earning money honestly by working hard would have been a better choice than spending time in prison.…
