An influential person of the village has sent his elder son abroad for studies, this is a matter of great concern for the whole village as they are afraid that the other young boys of the village will get inspired by him and the result will be not so good for everyone, as the outer world is very harsh and culprit which will spoil them. Unaware of the development and progress, they have their own myths about the developed countries where men and women work together. They even try to caution that person about the troubles he may face, as he has sent his boy abroad and he must have been spoiled till now. But the old man is wise enough to reject their imaginary allegations and has faith on his son. Moreover, he is quite open towards adopting modernity.
