I feel totally stupid but I'm confused. :) What exactly happened? I got totally lost with the part that begins here:
"And it smiled at him and held the coins in either hand and tossed both in the air, "Then let go of that which is not yours and claim what is."....
and ends here: "...And this ferryman bent down and picked up the shinier one and regarded him solemnly. "Every journey has its price," it said and turned away and walked toward the medical center, becoming less substantial with every step until it was completely gone by the time it reached the doors."
Could someone please explain it to me? Sorry, I keep reading it and still am missing the meaning.
