What made the Peddler think that he had indeed fallen into a rattrap?
Answer
After stealing the Crofter’s money, the Peddler didn’t dare to walk on the public highway for fear of getting identified and caught. So, he went into the woods. It was a big and confusing forest. The Peddler lost his way. Suddenly, the truth dawned upon him. He thought that the forest was a big rattrap in which he had fallen. The thirty kronor were like a bait which had been set to tempt him, and he had allowed himself to be fooled and caught.
