The first two narrations focus on the self: repenting after wrongdoing and then taking account of one’s conduct. The later narrations show how inner reform should become visible in dealings with others: affection, honesty, fulfilled promises, and protected trust.
Consider a trader who returns money gained through short measure, corrects his scales, and discloses product details honestly thereafter. The example joins repentance, accountability, and commercial integrity.
Knowing the right principle is not enough; character improves through changed actions.
