At the shrine he apologizes and prays for forgiveness, promising the spirits his toys and dinners. He walks away and finds a silver coin, which he lays on the shrine with the wish to bless all the children in the world. He then picks up two more coins and a voice tells him that he must keep on picking up coins until there are no more coins.
