‎A man sent his wife packing after she refused to give their apprentice food for two days. ‎The boy had been living and working with them for five years. According to the wife, he didn't deserve food because he swept the house in the morning but failed to sweep it again in the evening after returning from the shop.

‎

‎When her husband found out, he took her to the shop and asked her to handle the apprentice's duties for two days. Surprisingly, she spent those two days at the shop without making a single sale. The husband eventually sent her to her parents' house and told her, “The money you've been enjoying was made by the same boy you refused to feed.”

‎It sounds harsh, but it raises a serious question about how we treat the people whose labour contributes to our success. ‎Do you think the husband was right to send his wife away, or did he overreact?
