The correct answer is B. parents should pass across their wealth of knowledge to their children and the children should do same when they grow up

The story Centres on a hungry hunter who sees a signboard "Food is Ready" and "All you can eat for free, your ancestor have paid for your food" written below it. He eats but is later asks to pay so that his children can eat for free next time too. This means that when parents bestow good counsel to their children, the children should also do the same to their children when they grow up too.
