  1. 1. The tief bit of the mothers ear because the tief knew all of this was happened because of his mother.
    He was used to doing things that he couldn’t stop himself from doing.

    2. to describe it better you have to know if someone start with something and can’t stop doing it they are dependent to this the action several times and this also applies to the thief and the mother is responsible for it because she don’t warned or forbid him so he doesn’t have one adult who teaches him what is good and what is not.

    3. The moral lesson is that sometimes you can’t sure someone will keep you from doing something you have to think carefully for yourself before you do it
