Somebody is celebrating! Whether his ship came in, the girl said yes, he got promoted, or something else entirely, this young man (or woman) has money to spend and wants everyone to share his or her joy!
Somebody is running a game of chance in the street; guess which out of three cups is hiding the nut! They run an honest game, but their buddies are attempting to pick the pockets of those who gather to watch.
