In this chapter, we learn that the mother of the beggar has just died. She is so pale that she is almost certain to die if she does not receive treatment soon. The beggar, however, does not show gratitude for the medicine given to him by the master. The master has prescribed the mother's medicine for free, but the beggar still steals the medicine. The mother tells the beggar that she gave all of her money to the beggar and that the beggar is in such a state of pain that he does not even look at her. She tells him that he is a good kid and that he deserves kindness.
