Melina Doyle · Answer 1

The quotations that best explain how events in the story develop the theme "do not be too quick to judge, or you may be judged yourself" are "Next morning the seven piglets were returned one by one by various native children ... Glad to recover the squealing little wanderers at any cost, I gave each lying child a quarter-dollar." and "His [the pig] back was turned, but hearing my steps he 'went about' and faced me. 'Twas a bright moonlight night, and the bullet plugged him fair between the eyes."

Explanation:

The first quotation shows how the children thought they could cheat and make the pig owner look like stupid when they returned the piglets but at the end, they were the ones who were judged since he knew the truth. In the second quotation also shows how when you expect that others have the same reaction as you, you might be really affected since it is not going to be like that.
