Step-by-step explanation:

'The Black Sheep' by Italo Calvino explores the significance of value and impact of honesty for humankind. It is a fable that displays the impact of an antagonist on the society and its norms. The reading of the story answers these questions;

1. The honest man stays home to smoke and read which provides a threat to continuity to the stealing community.

2. The honest man's house becomes empty as he allowed the robbers and himself denied to steal.

3. The rich people hired the ones who could not steal in order to protect their accumulated wealth and gave rise to the divide between rich and poor.

4. The poorest of the poor become prisoners as they had nothing to eat and if they attempt to steal they would be imprisoned and being honest would not give them anything.
