where did the speaker meet the old man​

Answer 1

At the walking path, while he was resting.

Answer 2

Answer:

The old man offered the speaker a lot of money. When the old man was counting the gold coins, the speaker realized that once the money was finished or the work the old man wanted to hire him for was done, he would again be out of work. More than that, he would be bound in this bargain.
