Demitri earned (P3,000.00) by selling all the grains, vegetables & fruits.

Steve, the store owner offered to buy his goods if he will sell again he prefers if by bulk.

He also asked Demitri if he wants to rent a cart w/ manually pedaled bicycle attached. He will let him borrow it for free if he will sell his goods to him and if they continued he might gift it to Demitri.

It was a great offer, so Demitri agreed.

All grains, vegetables & fruits will be sold to Steve and if he has other products he can sell it to other businessmen according to his deal with Steve. In return, he can use the bicycle with cart for free and he might own it in the future.

They can now ride a bicycle with a cart attached from home to this village. It will save them time and it's more convenient than riding a cart pulled by an ox. Also, he became acquainted with some businessmen in the village market. He can also get discount if he needs to buy some goods.

Not everyone can have this privilege, if not for his plump fruits & vegetables he might be ignored by businessmen. Only those who were favored by G.o.d will be this lucky.

Businessmen were not short-sighted.

People may think they're generous, but it was actually an investment for them.

Not everything can be bought by money alone, businessmen became successful because of their human relations and connections. There's an old saying "No Man is an Island". There is a reason that many successful people tend to be friends with each other. There's actually lots of perks for being a friend and you'll only realize it if you have a friend.

The next day, they have to set out to Perinthus City.

After they bid farewell to Aries & his family, they set out to Perinthus City.

It will be less than half of an hour travel from this village to the entrance of the City.

But they need to change their clothes and they also need to replenish their supplies.

Boy also need's new clothes, shoes, and other things needed for studying.

It will be the first time for Boy to go shopping. It was unforgettable.

They spend half of Demitri's earnings. The value of money started to sink in to Boy.

He also discovered lots of things and he started admiring the rich peoples as they can buy many things by having lots of money.

Demitri as a father, taught his son "Do you know how a person becomes wealthy? It's when a person started to appreciate little things. Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness."

Boy didn't get what his father meant but he keep his father's word in mind.

Seeing Boy having a hard time on understanding his words, Demitri rubbed his head and just laughed.

"Later, we'll arrive to Perinthus City. Don't go far away from me so you won't be lost, the city is bigger than what you can imagine. Please bear in mind all the things that I will tell you later, be obedient don't wander around the roads. There are lots of cars in the streets and the city is full of people from all walks of life. We can enjoy this trip but let's be careful or else your mother will get angry if anything bad happened!"

"Yes, Papa! I'll listen to you!" Boy replied.

"Okay, Let's go!"
