"To be honest, everything in our village is quite good, but it hasn't rained for many days. We don't know what to do about this year's harvest. Our crops are about to die before our eyes."
"A few days ago, an old man came here and said that a young man would arrive in a few days, and that he would be our savior. So I thought that person must be you, because hardly anyone ever comes to our village."
"So, could we beg you to help us? It isn't easy for us to grow these crops every year. If you can help us, we'll agree to any conditions you have."

"What are you doing? Helping you is what I should do. After all, I just arrived here, yet you've treated me so warmly. You gave me food and a place to stay, and even let me take a horse. I'm the one who should be thanking you!"
"Please get up. Such a grand gesture is more than I can bear. Get up, get up. What are you doing? I'll definitely help you, and it's within my abilities."
