MONEY FOR FOOD. As a mestizo-looking man got out from a bakery, four half-naked streetkids met him and asked for money. He gave them bread instead of money.

RELUCTANT. The streetkids looked reluctant in accepting the bread. One of them was heard saying: "Kuwarta lang ta to. Tihika tisoya oy." The mestizo-looking man said to the bakery owner: "Kuwarta ilang gusto kay ila mang isugal."
