That night as they approach a village, they see a bright flame rising into the dark sky. As they get nearer, the Buddhist missionary says a prayer. He seems happy rather than sad, which puzzles the Chinese merchant. Later, they are told that an old woman who led a fine but poor life of serving others has died.
