What was the situation with Mr. Jenkins and the sticks of "old" candy? Chapter 11

Little Tree offers his candy stick for her to lick on. She tells of how much cotton her family is able to pick in a day. She asks Little Tree how much cotton he can pick. He replies he's never picked any. She says she figured that, because everyone knows Indians are lazy and don't work. Little Tree takes back his candy; but she says it's not because Indians can't help. They're just different, and maybe they do other things. Little Tree lets her lick on the candy again.
