Many Balinese have told me that they only beg because they can earn more money doing this than doing a days work. Take notice how old some of the mothers holding the children are. Talk about late life babies. I do give small amounts, mainly coin but they show their annoyance. I do give larger amounts to the handicapped and very old ones.
