The Boy and the

My inference about what would happen to Saru in the Boy and the Samurai was wrong. Instead of Saru the person that helped stop the robbers, the robber that got captured was invited to stay in the house. I would really like to know what was going through the heads of the people that owned the inn, because there is no reason to invite a convict that tried to rob them instead of the person that helped you. Also I would like to know how Saru feels right now because if that happened to me I would be angry at the people I helped and I would want revenge on them. But because Saru is living a totally different life than me and was faced with many letdowns I would not be surprised if he let it go.
