a ride home
free dinner
medicine
ten cents

Explanation:

In Eudora Welty's A Worn Path, Phoenix Jackson, after obtaining medicine for her grandson, unexpectedly receives ten cents from a hunter (after dropping her own nickel) and an additional nickel from a woman at the doctor's office, which she plans to use to buy a paper windmill for her grandson. The medicine is her intended goal, not an unexpected boon; she does not receive a free dinner or a ride home as an unexpected benefit.

Answer:

ten cents
