In this very poor village, there lived this family that could not afford to buy undergarments, so the family was only clad in their outer-garments.

On this day, the daughter was out plucking coconuts and there came along this monk that happened to pass by the village.The monk looked up the coconut tree, and saw something that made him looked away. When the girl came down from the tree, the monk walked up to her and told her,"Here's $10, go buy yourself some undergarments." The happy girl ran home and told her mother about what happened.

The next day, the mother went out to pluck coconuts, hoping that the monk would be there. It so happened that the monk was around when the mother was up the tree and when the monk looked up the tree, he looked shyly away immediately. When the mother came down the tree, the monk approached her and handed $10 to her.

The mother said gratefully,"Thank you, I will go and buy some undergaments too!"

The monk replied,"Actually the money is for u to buy a razor blade."
