What were the coins ‘saying’ to him?
Advertisements
Solution
The coins were asking him to buy the jalebis. They said that those fresh, hot jalebis were not coming out for nothing. Jalebis were meant to be eaten, and only those with money in their pocket could eat them. They also said that money was meant to be spent, and only those who liked jalebis spent it.
