This is a very strong comparison that you have presented in your post, which shows the difference between what can happen to people like Pedro next stop, no money and we are over here! versus the result of kindness.

The image of Pedro dying a tragic death, devoured by the very gold he had risked everything to possess, remains a vivid lesson of how uncontrolled desires can lead to ruin.

However, the remarkable thing that Patricia found gold symbolizes all blessings bestowed to those who live a good life with a sincere heart. Wonderfully realized themes of morality and the capricious hand of fortune fill in your story.

Thanks for providing this interesting story as well.
