Give her a few coins

From Create Your Own Story

"Here, take this," you say, handing her a few copper coins.

The girl does not take them. Instead she whirls and yells: "This man has money!"

Quick as lightning, she draws a rusty dagger from somewhere under her clothes and sinks it to the hilt into your stomach. You fall on your knees, clutching your bleeding wound. Half a dozen other children, no older than the little girl, emerge from the backstreets with slings, large sticks and knives, and then proceed to beat and stab you savagely until you die. They then take your purse, in which they find enough money to buy a large loaf of bread.

In Sartosa, no good deed goes unpunished.


THE END.
