The narrator asks a young man if he can help her find her way back to her house. The young man says he'll take her through the dark alley where she's lost. The narrator thanks the young man for his help and asks him to fetch some fruit for her. She's so grateful that she doesn't want to say anything to her mom about it. The boy gives her a peach and tells her she can have it for the rest of the week. He tells her that if she didn't come, he wouldn't have been able to find her. He also tells her not to be angry with him because he's not a bad person. He's just worried about her.
