She suffered agony when she entered the hotel, she had a large wound on her skin. She had been involved in an unjust brawl in the street last week and had been brutally wounded. An old woman on the other side of the pool observed her pain as she walked. She came to her and offered her help, supporting her with her arms and trying to calm her down. She was very tired and also hungry, it was the first time anyone had offered her help, the first time anyone had really seen her. As the old woman would be leaving the hotel the next day and wanted to be sure that everything was prepared for the wounded, she began to make arrangements for accommodation so that the injury could heal properly. Determined, she gave instructions to the manager, "This is the list of medicines, this is what she should eat, and she made sure that they provided her with a room where she could recover. It looks like I am in good hands, she thought! When the old woman came the next morning to check on her before her flight, she angrily shouted at the hotel staff in charge, "Why did not you put the medicine on the wound and replace yesterday's food as we agreed?" The man replied carelessly, "It's just a worthless alley cat!"
