It was bad enough , doing the bidding of the slimy merchant , but to be the plaything of some spoiled little noble wench . It was almost too much to bear . He had little time to brood over this however . Sali Dali was giving further instructions , and he was compelled to listen , to obey .
Why was the merchant slimy ?
- They steal money and do n't give the item .
 - They tried to rip people off with their prices .
 - They give people prices for too cheap .
 - They are too easy to haggle with .
