There the boy is using his spear to catch the fish in the river, after catching the fish he slowly raised his spear then grab the red like color fish and put it on his wooden box at his back. After sometime he feels that the wooden box in his back became heavy, so he walks to the soily ground and put his spear on the ground, he then gets the wooden box at his back and saw that his wooden box is full, so he head straight to the market. There he head straight to the spear shop then ask the boy with a blonde hair "Leo did my fish sell out?" the boy with a blonde hair then smile while rubbing his hand while saying "Alson my friend I think our asking the wrong question, you must be asking on how much we earn" Alson then feel an excitement on his blood, and he asks "so how much did we earn in total" the blonde boy then give form a proud face while saying "that's right Alson that's the question that you must ask, ok friend we earn a total of two silver and according to our deal I must earn one fourth so here is your one silver and 50 bronze coin" the blonde boy then hand Alson the coins. Alosn then grabs it and thank the blonde boy, the blonde boy then ask "so friend I see that you have some fish on your back, do you want so sell it?" Alson then smile "yes I want to sell it" Alson then hand the wooden box to the blonde boy with a happy expression on his face. The blonde boy then count the fish then said "my friend you have caught 20 fish and our deal is still the same" Alson then reply "ok Leo, I just go to come here tomorrow to get my coins" Alson then wave his hand and walk on the market. He thinks to himself of what should he do on his coin, he stops walking for a moment while thinking of a way on how to earn more money so that he can go to school an learn how to read. Upon thinking, he saw caravan passing by. There he thinks to himself, what if I go travel then buy some goods on the other own then sold it here with a higher price. There the old man that begs for foods notice him and stare at him using its old brown eyes. There Alson noticed the old man staring at him, so he walks near the old man while asking "grandpa I saw you staring at me does my face have some problem" the old man didn't, and he just sits there. Alson noticed that there's something in the old man that change, so he stares again at the old man and thinks to himself maybe if he give the old man some food he will start talking for he feels to himself that the old man has change like it became a wise man that live a life of wealth and suffering. So he goes to the near Apple Store then bought a one piece red apple, after buying the apple he went back to the place where the old man stay. There he walks close to the old man that sitting on the ground and give the apple, the old man then accept it but instead of eating it the old man stare at Alson like he saw the soul of him. The old man then give a smile then said "son may the god bless you for your kindness" Alson at this moment was in shock for the old man has like completely change on a different person, for the old a man that he knew would just eat his apple like a hungry pig without even saying thank you but the old man in front of him right now just didn't say thank you but also bless him with the gods. Alson then calm himself and said to the old man "no problem grandpa" the old man then look Alson on the eye and smile. At this moment Alson was so curios, so he didn't restrain himself on asking, he said "grandpa can I know why you are here in the street and beg for foo?" the old man the stare at Alson then open its dry lips "son this grandpa of yours has already seen the world in all different aspects, and he is now tired of a lot of things that's why he is he is now staying on the streets" the boy then give the old man a confuse look and ask I don't understand grandpa" the old man then smile while saying "you didn't need to understand my word son you just need to remember it for one day you may also see the world in my eyes" at this point Alson was so loss of what the old man was talking, so he just smiles and ask "grandpa can you help me on how to earn money for I really need it so that I can learn to read" the old man didn't answer him automatically, it grabs a coin on his pocket, there anyone can see that the old man was grabbing something on his rip pants. He then raised his hand so that Alson can see he said "son can you see the coin?" Alson then nod in reply, . The old man then stares at him and said "son I will tell you a story"!
