As he heads out to collect the money he also borrows a three Rubel note from his wife's money box. While going on his collection he only manages to receive twenty Kopeks rather than the full amount. Feeling disheartened by this Simon rashly spends the twenty Kopeks on Vodka and starts to head back home...
