Jacquelyn walked off with 5 bronze coins, leaving the other girl, whom she learned was named Betsy. She was part of that caravan that came in. "Wow, those people are real suckers," she said to herself quietly. She then looked over at the large street in town and saw two other girls from the caravan. If they're all as gullible as the first, she's in for a large payoff today. Perhaps even enough to buy some more cane sugar from the merchant that comes once a week. Mmmmm, cane sugar . . .

A hat was on the street, in front of the girls. Jacquelyn walked up to it and placed one bronze from their own money in the hat. "A beautiful performance," she said to the girl standing in front. "I want to be your friend. What's your name? Do you like riddles?" By the snake Hetuis, people are so dumb.
