a fisherman and his tricks

In an issue of National Geographic Traveler, Rus showed me a good quote that was related to an experience we had. It was about how a man would rather give someone money to perform their native dancing than have him move into the city to work at a gas station. It made us feel better about this fisherman today who wanted money from us. He gave Liam a stick to hold and wrapped sea food skins around the end for Liam to hold up to feed the birds. He kept telling us to take a picture and we have laerned that if someone wants us to take a picture then they want money for it later and we kind of hesitated but we saw how fun it was for the kids so we just went along. We hate being pressured into giving someone money. Then we realized that we would rather give him money and have other tourists give him money for this so he can keep doing what he does than have him do something he might hate, assuming he doesn't hate what he does...
