The next day she feels nervous and sad as the principal tells her that the jacket is now 15$ and not for free. He asks her to bring her the money the next day but her grandfather who is very poor says no. Marta is heartbroken at the sound of the news and with despair tells the principal he could give it to the girl who's father is an influential man in the community, unlike Marta's grandfather, a farmer.
