Saknis is a helper and a healer. He recognizes a boy that is in pain and on his own. He acts compassionately and generously. Matt is genuinely grateful and expresses this gratitude readily. He looks around to give Saknis something to reciprocate, but realizes that what he has is not useful to the Indian.
