"Pay me tomorrow," she said and put a straw hat on my head

I was standing in the sun at Parque Fundadores on a Saturday with no hat and a headache that kept getting worse. A woman selling hats from a cart looked at me, took a straw one down, put it on my head and said, pay me tomorrow. I came back the next day with the money and a bottle of water for her. She said, keep the water. I paid for the hat, she took the money, she gave the water back, and I drank it. I wear that hat to every market.
