He attends every day and takes care of the plants. He loves them too much and also gives them various names. In other words, he loves and looks after those vegetables and fruits like his own children.

He had grown many pumpkins. He took care of those pumpkins and also had planned to sell them in the market. he recognized all of those pumpkins by color, by size, and even by names. one day he planned to sell those pumpkins in the day to come, but 40 of those pumpkins got stolen and he becomes very sad. He knew those pumpkins were transported to the Cardiz market for sale. He reported this case to the market inspector, and on the investigation, they found a vendor selling Uncle Buscabeatas’s pumpkin. The Vendor told them that he bought the pumpkins form Uncle Fulano.

At the right time, Fulano came there. He was trying to get away but the inspector stopped him. He threatened Uncle Buscabetas to prove his claim. uncle Buscabetas brought these pumpkins' stems and start fitting those stems with the pumpkin. All those pumpkins are perfectly fitted with those stems.  All people and the police were persuaded of the ideas of Buscabeatas.

Author 

  • BORN: 1874, Paris, France 

  • DIED: 1965, Nice, France. 

  • The story published in 1924, filmed in 1950. 



    Setting 

  • Took place on an ocean-going liner. 

  •  WWI just ended. 

  • The accommodation was very difficult.


     Characters

  •  Mr. Gray – the narrator: reserved, frigid, closed-minded 

  • Mr. Kelada – Mr. Know-All: chatty, hearty, pushy, self-confident, argumentative 

  • Mr. Ramsay: dogmatic, boorish 

  • Mrs. Ramsay: a pretty little thing, modest, has the effect of a quiet distinction

       

      Plot 

  •   Reserved Mr. Gray (Wilfred Hyde-White) finds himself forced to share a cabin on a liner with the hearty, pushy, supremely self-confident gem dealer Max Kelada (Nigel Patrick) who is not an ideally typical English gentleman. Kelada, however, dominates all the onboard social gatherings, much to the annoyance of his fellow passengers, who call him "Mr. Know- All”, which he takes as a compliment, because of his insistence that he is an expert on all subjects. 


  •  One night, he remarks on the fine quality of the pearl necklace worn by the pretty Mrs. Ramsay (Anne Crawford), who has rejoined her husband ( Naunton Wayne) after a two-year separation caused by his work.


  •  Mr. Ramsay bets him that the pearls are imitation; Kelada swiftly accepts the wager, despite Mrs. Ramsay's attempt to call it off. While examining the pearls, Kelada notices that the woman shows abject fright. He then pretentiously admits that he was wrong and pays Mr. Ramsay. • Afterwards, back in their cabin, Gray and Kelada are surprised when a banknote is slipped under their door. Gray then knows the truth: the pearls are real and very costly. Kelada adds that he would not have left such an attractive wife alone for that long. Gray begins to like his cabin-mate.


Irony 

  • Whereas usually, a decent act adds to one’s reputation, Mr. Kelada’s decent act lessens his reputation.

  •  Mr. Kelada who apparently lacks sensitivity to other people is sensitive to Mrs. Ramsay more than her husband is.

  •  Mr. Kelada is a real “Know-All”, from all subjects to the understanding of a woman’s feelings neglected by her husband, and sacrificing his pride to save a marriage of two acquaintances.


Meaning

  •  Not to judge people by their appearances. 

  • Not to let prejudices and closed-mindedness defer us to see good qualities and characters in other people.

  •  If we look beyond racial, cultural differences, and look at human qualities, we are able to like those who are even quite different from us.

This essay was written by Bertrand Russell who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature. In this essay, the writer describes how human beings make a silly error and how can we get rid of those errors. To avoid such silly errors, no superhuman genius is required. A few simple rules will have to take into considerations.

We ourselves must decide that the matter can be settled by observation. He gives a classic example that if Aristotle had counted the teeth of his own wife and only came to a conclusion, he would avoid the mistake of thinking that women had fewer teeth than men. There will be no controversy about these things if he came to a conclusion after an observation.

Many problems are not addressed by observation. When a different perspective is irritating to us, it is a sign of stupid mistakes. whenever we get upset at our own contrary thoughts, we can assume that we are making big mistakes. To indignation at contrary viewpoints means that we are overconfident of ourselves. And this overconfident behavior is indicating some silly mistakes which we are going to be encountered in the near future. 

Another fatal mistake human beings seem to create is a perception of dogmatism. One good way of getting rid of any sort of dogmatism is by making ourselves conscious of views that are different from ours in social circles. Our sense of superiority needs to be very vigilant. Men believe they are superior, women think they are superior but, we must not think ourselves to be superior and supreme. To that, we should strive to realize that mankind is a fleeting event in the life of a tiny planet inside a little universe comer, and there are many other areas in the universe comer which include beings superior to us.

Fear makes another stupid mistake. Indeed, fear is a principal cause of superstition and a significant source of violence. We are on the way to enlightenment if we get rid of it. if we can stop the aforementioned silly mistakes then, we are less likely to be encountered with any sorts of problems.

 Carl G. Hempel 's essay "Scientific Inquiry: Invention and Test" is a conceptual structure concerning the essence of science. To explain the structure, Ignaz Semmelweis cited basic studies on childbed fever. In order to figure out the causes of high mortality in the First Maternity Section in the Vienna General Hospital, he proposed the theory and tested it.

To figure out the reasons, he first believed "the influenza effect was the cause of high mortality rates in the first section. Semmelweis used logic to test that hypothesis. He rationalized how this epidemic was restricted to the first division without impacting the second. Why didn't it affect the whole city of Vienna like cholera? Second, overcrowding is thought to have been the cause of high mortality rates.

The number of patients in the two groups was checked. It is noted that in the second division, the number of patients was greater than those of the first division. Third, the commission report in 1846 reported that pediatric fever was caused by the harsh treatment of the patients by the medical students. He argued that the actual reproduction process was more injurious than the students' harsh treatment.

The main concepts for natural science as well as for ordinary circumstances and literary works that can be used are hypotheses and tests which make our propositions true. To investigate the issue in the Vienna General Hospital, Semmelweis pursued the same natural cycle.
