I bargained too hard and went home with a carved frog

Simon Hollis · Ubud center, Ubud · Oct 9

I was bargaining for a wooden bowl at the Ubud Traditional Art Market one Saturday morning, and getting very good at it, I thought. The seller looked at me, laughed, and said, take it, you are trying too hard, then gave me the price I had asked for, plus a small carved frog. I paid the full price anyway, which made her laugh harder. We split the difference. The frog sits on my shelf and watches me. It does not say anything. I think it is on her side.
