When the porridge is spilled on his way back to the shop, he blames himself for it. He tells the shopkeeper that he will have to live only for himself the next morning. The shopkeeper tells him that he is his dearest customer in the city and that he has not visited the house for a week. When he asks what he would like, he is told that the porridge shop has a special event that day. He is told to come and visit when he has the time. He refuses to accept the offer, saying that he does not want to be hostile towards another person. He says that he and the shopkeeper are in the neighborhood and shouldnt be hostile toward each other. He offers to go and buy some porridge for him. He thinks that the brat should go to hell with him.
