Write a story that ends with the expression:so it pays to be kind to strangers

one gentle evening a young and beautiful girl lived in a cottage. She was a melancholy person and she lived with her parents. One day a random stranger arrived at her cottage. "i'll get it!" she said. And when she opened the door, she saw a strange man: a cotton hat, leather boots and a wooly coat. "Yes? What brings you here?" The girl asked. "I am here for a bite of bread." the man slowly murmured. "Um, sure. Come inside." the girl said.

"No, No. It is fine," he said " i only need one bite and be on my way" "Where are you off to?" The girl, Layla said . "oh, just exploring the wood, you know, asking for bread by little girls like YOU!"

It is only a cliffhanger short story but i tried my best (lol)

hope this helps! but u can add more if you want to!

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.

the answer is sadly

true
