Too much reward
I finally got to my house, I opened the door entered inside the house and closed the door , I climb up to the futon , and rest my head, and I did not even know when I fell asleep.
"kukurukuu"that is the cockcrowing to indicate, that a new day has begun.
"umm" I yawned and stretch my body once I heard the cock crowing, I stood up from the futon .
I went outside the house, I saw a small jar of water, beside the front door and the only door in the house ,I used the water to wash my hands and my leg and also I washed my face, because there is no bathroom here.
' how cute am I ' I asked my self because I wanted to know how the female outside will feel about me ,if I am cute enough for a girl to like me
I walk to the mirror on the wall of the room,and check out my self.
"wow"
I exclaim after seeing my reflection on the mirror, am very cute probably,the most cutest person that I have seen in this world,on my tour to the Northside there is no boy as cute as I am now.
' I really love this body, no wonder the girls were looking at me consistently' on my tour yesterday all the girls were looking at me . I didn't know why they, were looking at me, now I know why it is because of the cuteness.
really my former body and my new body , are quite the same , we both share the same cuteness, but this body is thirty percent higher than the cuteness of my former body .
my stomach is making all sort of noise , it need food again, I ate only lunch yesterday in that restaurant, I didn't eat anything for supper .
then I remembered that I haven't checked the bag that the lady in that restaurant gave to me last night.
I picked the bag from the place e li kept it yesterday when I came back from my little tour northward.
inside of the bag ,I saw a medium sized cake ,maybe she was taking this to her children at at home or probably planning to sell it tomorrow.
I brought the cake out,it was wrapped in a kind of polythene,maybe the old type of polythene bag, I found out it was more than two cake on the bag,I brought them out .
I thought everything in the bag was finished then ,I dropped the bag on the floor ,and I heard sound that are made when many small pieces of metals meets each other.
I picked the bag up again,and I place my hands inside the bag again,and my hand felt something round,and hard with a circular shape ,I brought the thing out and I found out that it was a gold coin.
I turned the bag upside down, on top of the futon (bed ),and I saw the coin dropping from the bag .
"wow , does this woman know of the things she gave to me , maybe she was going to give me the other bag" I was surprised at the amount of coins on the floor.
I counted all the coin on top of the bed, It amounted up to 23 gold coins and 69 silver coin.
' this is a large amount of money, if a silver coin can actually get me a plate of food and a glass of juice, that is a gold coin can feed a family for a day, I have to return this morning to this woman' I thought to myself.
I picked up a red robe from the wardrobe, this one looks better than that of yesterday.
after I put on the clothes, I took the coins and the cakes and place it into the bag , and I head straight to the woman's restaurant.
coming outside from the house , the people in the street are also looking happy as always, they are moving to and fro in the street as usual.
but today was quite lessen than that of yesterday, today I can see the farmers here coming back from the southside with some sort of wheel barrows.
I can see different type of fruit and food in their wheel barrow, for example the first farmer I saw Is coming back with ripe grapes , the one following him a lady is having big bag of wheat on her head.
they are very many here ,I can also see women with rice grains,peas,beans and other type of food that I Haven't seen before.
they are all smiling, probably this year harvest was good.
"hey shing ,how was your grapes ,did it meet up to your expectations" a man pushing his wheel barrow filled with cabbages ask the other one ,also pushing a wheel Barrow but with a different crop ,he is pushing a wheel Barrow filled with ripe grapes and strawberries.
"it didn't meet my expectations,it beats my expectations,I wasn't expecting it to be this good this year, especially the strawberries while I planted a little too late because I was sick." the man answered.
" I remember, Even me am equally as shocked as you are , though the rain this year started a little too late but almost a the farmer are happy,as you can see" he beckoned on the man he called shing earlier to look back.
the man name shing looked back and saw the smile on everyone coming from the farm route ,which might be south ward, because everyone is coming from the south side.
"my friends, sensoji is not asleep he answered all the prayers of all the farmers in this town,even without enough rain ,we heard a lot to harvest" shing said to the other man .
" my friend, can you remember that last year that the rain started on time and poured everyday , despite it our harvest Last year was not as good as this year ."
these are the conversation of two farmers passing and discussing about their harvest.
I didn't notice that I was still standing in the house , I haven't move an inch from the spot i was standing, because I was busy looking at the various farmers passing through the street with smile on their face and also with their farm produce .
' men I am hungry' I thought to my self and went inside the house again to collect the two silver coin remaining From yesterday.
I place them in my pocket in the red robe I was putting on , and walked outside from the room .
I started heading northward again to that restaurant I ate from yesterday .
though remembering the road was hard for me again, but by the use of marked spot from yesterday ,so it wasn't that hard recognizing the route to the restaurant.
I stopped in front of the restaurant as usual I knew this restaurant with the big curtain use as an opening to the restaurant.
"good day ma" I greet the woman, the owner of the restaurant and the woman I saved yesterday that gave me the bag.
"oh you are that young man from yesterday, how are you doing, how was your night " she recognized me .
" what do you care for my dear customer." she asked after greeting.
" ma that isn't the main reason am here , the main reason I am here is because of the bag " I went straight to the point.
" what is wrong with the bag " she ask after hearing me talking about the bag she gave me last night.
"ma the content in the bag they are too big , and expensive, I think you gave me the wrong bag last night," I answered showing her the bag .
" what is in it that you really think is too expensive, I thought I told yesterday that everything in that bag is yours " she answered.
" but ma , the coins inside they are too expensive and the cakes I think that you were taking it to your kids at home you might need it" I said hand overing to the woman.
" you are really a young man with golden qualities , you were humble enough yesterday to return the tray when you finished eating, and also brave and strong when you saved me from falling last night, and also now you are showing another golden qualities if honestly and kindness " the woman said .
" thank you ma , but I can't take it , it too much , your family might need it " I said feeling that the woman family, might be somehow poor.
"young man everything you see in that bag is yours , I know how you feel that I am selling food , you are thinking that my family might need it, probably because you think we might be poor" she said, it felt like she was actually reading my mind , because everything she said is the true about what my mind was thinking.
"yes ma " I answered the woman.
"actually my husband Is a very wealthy man and my daughters are also living a good life with my husband, I decided to go into cooking and selling because I love cooking and also I love doing business ,so don't feel any guilt that me and my family will be needing the money , actually I knew of what was inside the bag ,how many coins were in the bag " she asked .
" ma it was 23 gold and 69 silver when I counted it this morning "I answered.
" you are really have a golden heart ,you didn't hide any coin at all ,beside who are your parents,if I may ask" she asked.
" ma I don't really know my parents" I answered, actually this body I reincarnated into didn't have any parents.
" oh that is a pity , and you possess this golden qualities, even without getting trained by your parents " she said I can see her looking at me with pity and also looking at me with amazement.
"yes ma " I answered.
"ok young man, everything in that bag is yours and also add this to it " she gave another small bag filled with coin , maybe up to two hundred coin was present in this bag.
" and Don't bother to return it, I am the one who gave it to you, so spend it wisely , and also adding to all the reward , anytime you eat in my restaurant, don't bother to pay " she said.
" thank you very much ma " I thanked the woman.
" it ok you have a golden heart, and good qualities you need to be rewarded handsomely."she said .
" now what were you going to buy " she added to her statement.
" oh ma I wanted to buy the same thing as yesterday" I said to her .
"ok I am coming, she entered into the Same room she entered yesterday.
she came out with a plate of the buckwheat noodles, this time it was more Fuller than the way it was yesterday.
and also yesterday I bought two eggs , but today I can see grilled chicken, and also a fried fish on the noodles. with a cup of orange juice, I thought that the one she was bringing was not mine maybe for another customer.
"this is your food young man" she said passing the food to me.
"ma this is not mine , yesterday I ordered for two boiled eggs " I said seeing that she was passing the tray to me , thinking that she was mistakingly giving me the tray.
"oh you are indeed honest, even when you saw that I wasn't giving you the Same thing as yesterday, even when you saw that this meal richer than the other meal of yesterday, you still insist in having the same meal, what a good person you are, but don't worry you won't be paying, I am the one who added to it just take it " she said
"thank you ma "I thanked her and took the tray from her turning back to find a vacant chair, I actually found one Vacant chair.
I walked over to the chair, and I started eating my food , it is still slowly I haven't master the use of chopsticks to eat now .
I finished eating, I took the tray and walked to the woman in her table where she always stay .
"I hope you ate to your fullest " she asked.
" yes ma , thank you very much ,I have to leave now" I answered her and bade her farewell I want to keep on viewing south ward since I haven't finished viewing and I was already too far from my house, so going back is a bad idea.
I continued moving from the restaurant north ward ,I am walking faster because I have already viewed this area yesterday ,I passed the Buddhist temple I stoped yesterday before I stopped the speed I was walking with before.
I began moving forward slowly , so that I can actually notice anything about this environment.
actually I did notice a few things, there is another beautiful place, very very beautiful and the only things I can see people I can see here are all women not just women and also some young girls,they were not just women and girls but they looked very beautiful ,they were all dressed with purple dresses,and a little combination of gold on their clothes.
they dressed richly like they are from royalty,and also the purple color is a colour used by the rich and the people that have royal blood.
' but why are there only the female here , maybe I will get to know one day I thought to myself
I viewed a wide range of the Northside before ,the sun went down and darkness has taken over everywhere again,so I walked back home faster than the way I walked yesterday, because of the large amount of money with me .
on my way home , I wanted to buy something to be used as a source of illumination in my room . I got closer and I saw a stall where things are sold.
"good evening ma " I greeted the lady selling in the stall .
"good evening young man is there anything that you want to buy " the lady selling in the stall asked me .
" yes ma , please do you have anything that I can use as a source of light" I asked her .
" yes dear customer, u can buy the candle and it stand that will cost you a silver coin ,and also you can buy the florescent light, this one will surely last and it is the most recent light in town it cost five silver coin " the woman said.
" ok give me the new florescent light"I brought a gold coin, I wanted to see how many silver coin make a gold coin,I passed it over to the lady on the shop .
"ma I don't have five silver coin with me I only have a gold coin here with me" I said to the woman.
" ok dear customer,I understand,I have change ,she said passing the florescent lamp to me" ,I also gave her the gold coin.
the lamp is quite small,but it has an handle,the lamp is white in colour and is indeed beautifully made,by the shapes and the light inside, and the small switch, I tried turning it on ,it is as bright as the bulb in the future where I came from, I quickly switched it off because it could draw attention from the people.
"this is your change dear customer, please you can also get anything you want any day you pass through this route " she said passing the coins to me .
I counted it , it was seven in number, that indicates that a gold coin is equivalent to twelve silver coin , I kept the money in my pocket and continued walking home.
I walked through the restaurant and found out it is already closed , the woman has already left to her house.
I stopped in front of my house , I entered and sat on top of the futon , I rolled it in so I can sit well on it. and I switched on the new florescent light ,the lamp is very bright ,it is as bright as putting on a bulb in the future,I can see every nook and cranny in the room
' today is a very good day, I am a bit hungry right , let me have a cake ,I thought to myself and took the bag , then I remembered that I haven't checked the content of the small bag.
i poured it on table, and counted it , when I finish counting it , it was 123 gold coin and 69 silver coin,and all the money with me totaled up to
"this is a nice sum of money,this money will be able to sustain me for two years, I am really blessed"I said silently to myself .
i removed ten gold coin and hid the others in case of if someone comes to steal from me,am not still sure because I have a large amount of money and the wicked ones may know about it and try to steal it in the night or the morning when i am out on a stroll.
now my stomach is rubbling angrily, I am very very hungry and tired, I stressed out to reach the first bag , I took two cake from the bag and I started eating, I was fast in eating the cake because I am use to eating with the hand especially snacks like cake, unlike when eating with chopsticks.
after I finished eating the cake ,I am a little bit satisfied,I reserved the other two cake for the next morning before I go out for my tommorow tour.
I have planned to stroll around the south side tommorow,I rolled out the futon and rested my head on it.
