### Making Money

Bowa Fruit can be used to make money by either delivering it to a Supply House for 3 Work Points or sold to a shop for 2 bea.

You also have the ability to cook food using your Bowa Fruit and sell said food. All foods except Party Cake (Bowa) will generate a profit, so this can be a good option if you need bea.

If you successfully bring a Bowa Fruit, you'll get four additional School Points in addition to the normal one school point for attendance.

### Giving to Others

Much like how citizens can give you Bowa Fruit, you have the option to give it to them as well. To do this, hold Bowa Fruit in your hands and talk to a friend, close friend, dear friend, or family member (excluding babies) and select "Give Ingredients". If they accept your offer, you'll give one Bowa Fruit and improve your relationship with the recipient. If they refuse, you keep trying until they accept. Adults and children will have different reactions when accepting your offer:

* Adults will say you saved them a lot of trouble
* Children will simply thank you
