Two weeks before the whitmoon festival begins.
People in the capital became increasingly busy preparing house decorations and other equipment needed for the parade. Similarly, the gatekeepers were overburdened day and night as they dealt with the long lines in front of the gates.
Houses in the capital have been decorated with lotus flowers of various colors, and merchants change the theme of their merchandise according to the festival, some selling flowers, some selling cakes in the shape of princely silhouettes, and many more. As the capital's population has almost doubled, the main street has become crowded with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians.
Hungry peasants misused these crowds. They begged for money on street corners. But most peasants would be chased away by shopkeepers, so only a few did it.
And the other way they get money is...
"THEFT! ANYONE, THAT KID STEALING APPLES!"
is to steal.
