A coin was tossed high into the air, then plummeted back down like a shooting star. Bai Yi caught it with his left hand and quickly covered it with his right.
“Snap!”
He crouched down, smiling at the child standing before him. “It’s your turn. Guess – heads or tails?”
“Tails?”
“Ta-da! Congratulations… you guessed wrong!”
Bai Yi slowly opened his palm, announcing with the excitement of revealing a lottery prize. “It’s heads.”
As the child looked on in disbelief, he casually tossed the coin into his pocket and held out his open palm to the youngster. “A bet’s a bet. Your wager is mine now.”
The child’s eyes widened, suddenly full of reluctance.
Unwillingly, the child extended his hand, conflicted about placing the candy he was clutching into Bai Yi’s open palm. His fingertips, still gripping the sweet, hesitated to let go. He kept stealing glances at Bai Yi, his round eyes clearly saying, “Really, no take-backs?”
