I came to confront him but he insisted that it was nor man cursed
“Can’t the sack be opened for inspection before buying?”
The young man shook his head “I heard you could do that before, but they eventually stopped allowing people to do that As the wool business soars, the Shatu people grow more pretentious Look at the sacks of wool in front of their vendor stalls — they only leave one or two open for you to see how the wool on top looks like They won’t show you the rest or allow you to open the sack and inspect because they don’t care if you are buying or not If you’re not buying, then someone else will eventually buy them too…”
