Scene to read · Self-awareness, Ethics
Thirty for the blanket
You are shopping at a weekend craft market with your close friend Aroha.
A sign on Dina's stall says offers are welcome. You have just talked her down from sixty dollars to thirty for a hand-woven blanket that she says took her two weeks, and you are feeling pleased with yourself as she wraps it.
The scene
Dina: Thirty it is. Thank you, really. It's been a slow month, so every sale counts.
Aroha: Two weeks of weaving for thirty dollars. You do drive a bargain.
Dina: Oh, a deal's a deal. I said yes, didn't I? Cash or card?
Aroha: Well? She's waiting on you.
