An immigrant from another province was arrested for a certain crime. He was detained in the province's prison and sentenced according to the law of the land. Since he is a non-native convict, news spread like wild fire across the province especially that this is not a usual case.
The news reached the immigrant's province and the people there were worried. The governor of the immigrant's province sent out his ambassador to the other province to try for a diplomatic resolution. The ambassador went to the province's capitol and met the governor of the province.
Ambassador: Sir, we heard news that a countryman from our province is detained here in your province, is it true? I know people from our province are decent and obedient to the law.
Governor: Yes, he is detained here. Now, if you are saying that people from your province are decent and obedient, then your countryman has also sinned against your province. Therefore, I will add more punishment to your countryman. He will be executed tomorrow instead of a lifetime imprisonment.
MORAL: Always remember that you are a reflection of your origin. You represent your origin wherever you go.
