Malek was rich and was wearing a heavy coat. He challenged Mansour, knowing that Mansour was wise. Maybe he was arrogant and felt like humiliating Mansour. On the other hand, Mansour had good intentions. He invited Malek for dinner to show him the importance of keeping one's promise.

  1. Do you think that Mansour was fair in his response to Malek's challenge? What does this tell us about Mansour?
