Despite the language barrier, at the end of the story, both Muni and the American got what they wanted. Do you agree with this statement? Justify your response.

Yes surely, both of the men Muni and American got their way.

Explanation:

Muni was a a poor man who used to live in a small village in Tamil with his wife. He only knew two words of English, that were yes or no.

One day his wife asks him to buy her some food, but he didn't have any money. He goes to the shop, but the shopkeeper kicks him out because he already had a lot of debt. Next day, when Muni takes his goats out of grazing, he stops for a quick rest under a horse statue, where suddenly an American appears. The American, thinking that Muni was the owner, got interested in buying the horse statue, and made an offer. Muni, who couldn't understand English, thought that the American made an offer for his goats, and he sold them because he needed money. Later he realized that the goats were still at his home, but the statue was missing.

If we think about it, both Muni and the American got what they wanted, even if it was through a confusion. Muni wanted money for food, which he got from the American, the American wanted the horse statue, which he took after paying Muni.
