The old man was overjoyed when Maxim called him to come closer. His small bowl still had half of the wine left. Emmelyn assumed he left it for his wife. This sight made her heart filled with warmth.
"As promised, we would like to give you something," Emmelyn took one basket of bread from the wagon and gave it to the old man. "We have extra bread and I don't think we will be able to finish them all. Please take this basket for you and your wife."
The man's eyes bulged when he saw the really nice-looking bread on the basket. He gulped and his body trembled slightly. He looked up and saw Emmelyn in the eyes, "That's a lot of bread."
"It's quite fresh, less than a day old. You can eat it for three more days. You can also share some with your neighbors," Emmelyn explained.
The man looked around them and smiled broadly. "I do know many people who need food. Thank you very much."
