Envy and treachery are worse than breaking religious traditions.
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled, "Forbidden Fruit," written by<em> Fazil Iskander</em>. It is about a Muslim family and their religious tradition of <em>"not eating pork." </em>The narrator has a brother and a sister. One day, he witnessed her sister gobbling up on pork as she was offered by her<em> Auntie Sonya. </em>This made the narrator feel disgusted for her sister, <em>although he knew that pork was delicious.</em> He actually envied her to the point of telling what she did to his father. He did it because he was envious how his parents treated them equally, when in fact, his sister broke a religious tradition. His father got furious and instead of punishing his sister, <u><em>the narrator was punished for being a traitor.</em></u>
It is clear that the story teaches the readers that envy and treachery are worse than breaking religious traditions.
