Baddie pointed out to Goodie and said that he stole the money while Goodie kept defending himself. Baddie said, “We should ask the tree itself who did it.” So, they go to the tree and Baddie asks, “Tell us who stole the money.” A voice comes from the tree that says, “It was Goodie who took the money.” Everyone including Goodie was shocked to hear the voice. Goodie understood that there was something wrong so he decided to solve the problem.
