Red Boy was too embarrassed to say that money was picked up. Hence, he shook his head and said, "One should be frugal when possible…"
The woman looked at Red Boy's tattered monk robes and felt a little emotional. She nodded and said, "Alright, but a cute and sensible child like you should be rewarded. I have a tiny strawberry cake here. Do you want it?"
Red Boy's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Really? Can you really give it to me?"
The woman smiled and said, "Of course, just take it as a bonus for the final sale for today. It's on the house."
The woman took out a small cake from the counter. It wasn't even the size of a palm-sized cake. There was a beautiful red strawberry on top of it. She handed it to Red Boy.
Red Boy pressed his palms together gratefully. "Amitabha. Thank you, Patron!"
"Take it." The woman handed it to Red Boy. Red Boy happily took it and took the money the woman had returned him.
