Wahab gave him a dinar the reason he had come,  it was the price he was paying for the morning roti and asked him to return the  first coin he was given,  he said scratching his head 

Gauss explained he was satisfied with less , wagab argued in the morning he didn't have enough but after a good sale of all his baskets it was his ethical duty to make full payment,  his own satisfaction was more important than the shopkeepers  contentment
