Roslyn of Manabusu Village needed reading glases so she could do her daily work. She had nothing to trade but this woven hat. Nina does not like hats, but of course made this trade. Then Roslyn's friend came out with the same request and a nearly identical hat, so Nina got two! We felt sorry for these older ladies who seemed to have a hard life.
