With inflated ego and a sense of invincibility, he goes back home to the village where he literally places himself above all and sundry. The entire world around him falls to his feet. He displays so much wealth and well-being that all the village youngsters begin to imitate his brand of lifestyle and flock to the city to duplicate his success. Sooner than later, they realize that there had been so much misconception and misinformation about the city and begin to wish they had stayed home in the first place. Meanwhile, the city boy continues to shine in the village in his newly-found stardom.
