Belen obviously did not earn this gift and will not be able to pay it back. But he will be expected to reciprocate. Diocles has invested in Belen’s life, and so Belen will want to invest in Diocles’s life. He will do this by showing gratitude to Diocles. Belen’s gratitude is more than words. Belen will be loyal to Diocles. From now on, he bakes bread for Diocles’s family and all the people who work in Diocles’s extended circle.
