Cunning - using the opportunity to get 3 more corn than he otherwise would have done!
I'm still new to the game, but I've assumed that begging for corn is intended to be a punitive action - that the cost of it is almost always more than the value of the corn you get in return. But maybe I've been mistaken, and it's simply like sacrificing 10 VP in Stone Age if you haven't gathered enough food for your people: a balanced option.
