Sampaguita Vendors

In the Philippines, kids of all ages (some are much younger than Bree), sell Sampaguita leis in the busy streets. Bree sees them knocking on our car window, asking us to buy their sampaguita. One night, Clay took pity on one of them and bought one strand of sampaguita lei for 10 pesos (about $0.20). Then i was explaining to Bree that these kids need to sell the flowers in order to have money to buy food. If they can't sell any sampaguita, they won't have food.

Bree's response to me was, "Well, do they have a permit to sell?"
