Luis, a skilled harvester, gave up his high salary to return to his village and help the villagers bring in their wheat. Because the local fields were rugged and caused heavy wear and tear on machinery, he set the price at $150 per acre. But the village chief Leah accused him of overcharging, and some villagers maliciously reported him. Disheartened, Luis left. In an attempt to pocket the difference, Leah brought in a rundown harvester. The machines broke down one after another, and a rainstorm destroyed all the village's wheat. With no other options left, the desperate villagers took Leah to apologize and beg for Luis's help. He put aside past grievances and helped them deal with the moldy wheat. Leah was arrested for fraud, and the villagers sold off everything they owned to pay off debts, gradually falling into poverty. Meanwhile, Luis earned trust and goodwill in a neighboring village, married its chief Anna, and settled there.
