The Life and Times of a Rug Merchant

Nana Naid gave me one of his worn robes that I might look well, and Swasti helped me patch it and wash it clean. When I told him of my plan to peddle our honeycakes he was well pleased. Here is what we will do, he suggested. Thou sell us them two for a penny. Then half of the pennies will be mine to pay for the flower and the honey and the wood to bake them. Of the rest I shall take half, and thou shall keep half.
