A woman entered the grocery shop, clothed simply and with a solemn expression on her face. She approached the proprietor shyly and requested if she may take some things home with the promise of paying later.
Her voice trembled as she described her difficult situation: her husband was critically ill and unable to work, leaving her to care for their seven children while fighting to make ends meet.
The storekeeper was unimpressed by her misery and directed his security officers to remove her from the premises. Despite this, she persisted in asking for his forgiveness, promising to reimburse him as soon as possible.
