This man and his son have a pretty solid company. They sell coconuts and flowers to worshipers that pass by them. There are many people who worship where they are from and they have prime real estate for their buyers' convenience.They live a sad life.
Despite how profitable their work may seem to an outsider, they have one of the saddest jobs. They sell their coconuts and flowers to the worshippers of the Rantek temple. Here they are preparing offerings that worshippers can purchase at the temple to present to the gods. The gods and their carnal forms, the monkeys that overflow the temple grounds, help themselves to the offerings even before they can be purchased. This means there is less to sell and they lose money to their gods' stealing. And what are these men supposed to do? Nothing. You can't really just chase away the gods or scold them. It's their offerings anyways, right?
How unfulfilling.
