Which part of this excerpt from Voltaire's Candide best develops the theme that different people find value in different things?
The mountains which surround my kingdom are ten thousand feet high, and as steep as walls; they are each over ten leagues in breadth, and
there is no other way to descend them than by precipices. However, since you absolutely wish to depart, I shall give orders to my engineers to
construct a machine that will convey you very safely. When we have conducted you over the mountains no one can accompany you further, for
my subjects have made a vow never to quit the kingdom, and they are too wise to break it. Ask me besides anything that you please."
"We desire nothing of your Majesty," says Candide. "but a few sheep laden
with provisions, pebbles, and the earth of this country."
The King laughed.
7 cannot conceive." said he "what pleasure you Europeans find in our yellow clay, but take as much as you like, and great good may it do you."
At once he gave directions that his engineers should construct a machine to hoist up these two extraordinary men out of the kingdom. Three
thousand good mathematicians went to work it was ready in fifteen days, and did not cost more than twenty million sterling in the specie of
that country. They placed Candide and Cacambo on the machine. There were two great red sheep saddled and bridled to ride upon as soon as
they were beyond the mountains, twenty pack-sheep laden with provisions, thirty with presents of the curiosities of the country, and fifty with
gold, diamonds and precious stones. The King embraced the two wanderers very tenderly.

Read the excerpt from "the most dangerous game." again rainsford lifted the heavy knocker, and let it fall. the door opened then, opened as suddenly as if it were on a spring, and rainsford stood blinking in the river of glaring gold light that poured out. the first thing rainsford's eyes discerned was the largest man rainsford had ever seenβa gigantic creature, solidly made and black bearded to the waist. in his hand the man held a long-barreled revolver, and he was pointing it straight at rainsford's heart. the details of this excerpt show that rainsford sees ivan as a(n) individual.
