Read the passage.

this story is set in the late 1800s on an island off the coast of australia. the narrator is a trader who recently settled on the island.

excerpt from ā€œin a native villageā€ from ridan the devil and other stories by louis becke

pigs were the next troubleā€”my own pigs and the pigs of the general public. when i landed on the island i had brought with me from sydney a lady and gentleman pig of exceedingly high lineage. they were now the proud and happy parents of seven beautiful little black-and-white piglets, and at any hour of the day one might see numbers of natives looking over my wall at the graceful little creatures as they chased one another over the grass, charged at nothing, and came to a dead stop with astonishing rapidity and a look of intense amazement.

one fatal day i let them out, thinking they would come to no harm, as their parents were with them. as they did not return at dusk i sent e'eu, the under-nurse, to search for them. she came back and told me in a whisper that the father and mother pig were rooting up a sweet-potato patch belonging to the local chief. the piglets she had failed to discover. enjoining secrecy, i sent e'eu and harry to chase the parents home. this was effected after considerable trouble, but the owner of the potato patch claimed two dollars damages. i paid it, feeling his claim was just.

next morning the seven piglets were returned one by one by various native children. each piglet had, according to their accounts, been in a separate garden, and done considerable damage; and 'because they' (the piglets) 'were the property of a good and just man, the owners of the gardens would not hurt nor even chase them,' etc. glad to recover the squealing little wanderers at any cost, i gave each lying child a quarter-dollar.

how does the first-person point of view affect this story?

it forces the reader to take sides in the dispute and to draw their own conclusions about who is at fault for the outcome.
it makes the narrator a sympathetic character and, therefore, more believable than the villagers.
it places the narrator and the reader on the same footing so the reader can predict what the narrator is likely to do.
it allows the reader to experience the narratorā€™s confusion about the villagersā€™ ways, which hints at the resolution.
