Meeting the Old Man

"We haven't eaten anything for two days. If you have food, can you please share it with us?" Xiao Tian gave an honest answer. "Of course, we won't take it for free. We will return your favor later."

The old man turned around to face them. "Food?"

"Yes, elder." Crystal responded, "Could you share some of your food with us?"

The old man finally understood the reason why Xiao Tian and Crystal looked for him.

'Did they not find any food since yesterday?'

He suspected that Xiao Tian and Crystal did not find any food since yesterday.

"What makes you think I would share my food with you?" the old man replied, "You know we are in the forest, right? Food is very important, especially in the forest."

Of course, Xiao Tian and Crystal knew about it. 

"Elder, I will pay for the food. You may not believe it, but I have a lot of money." Xiao Tian told the old man that he had a lot of money.
