Hari Singh justified his return to Anil through several reasons. First, he realised that stealing only a few hundred rupees was a small gain compared to the lifetime benefits of education. He thought, "Whole sentences could one day bring me more than a few hundred rupees." Second, he feared being caught, knowing "it is simple to steal but sometimes just as simple to be caught." Third, he valued Anil's trust and felt guilty knowing Anil's face would show "sadness not for money, but for loss of trust." He returned the money, choosing education and a respectable future over a petty theft.
