It's raining outside, and the young man asks the old man for advice. The old man doesn't believe it's a good idea for him to come in the middle of a rainstorm. The young man says he'll wait for him in the town when he's finished, and then they'll go back to the pagoda. The Old Man tells him to stay away from the pagoda and not to worry about his feud with the Young Man. He's just praying for a good night's sleep. The Young Man says he never thought the Old Man was blessing him for his birthday, and that he wishes he could take a good thing and make it his lot. He also hopes that the old guy will pay off his debt to the old woman, and he hopes that he can live happily ever after with the old lady. He says he wishes that he could live with the Old Woman forever, so that they could be together forever.
