They were far out in the fields when we stopped, you see, to take the picture. By the time a horde formed around us, we were afraid to get our money out. The horde included many farmers who hadn't been in the picture.

It is a tricky issue always, regardless where one lives, how to handle it when strangers ask for money. I remember quite a few awkward situations in Boston, for example, when homeless men would ask me for money. (Jessica, I just don't want you to think this issue is limited to China.)
