I finally caught it.
“”.””
The woman nodded with her mouth closed. I took him to the office and checked the stolen items with the boss.
What was stolen was 2 baked goods.
They asked me to show my ID, but I didn’t have a driver’s license or insurance card.
I could tell from the atmosphere that the clothes were hardly clean and that they were financially in dire straits.
Even a small amount of theft from a small store can have a significant impact. Moreover, it was discovered that the crime was not just one or two.
I can never forgive. I’m going to hand it over to the police.
‘I will report it’
He picked up the receiver, but the president stopped him with a wave of his hand, saying, “Wait a minute.”
As she slowly lowered her hand, the boss turned to the woman and asked her why she did that.
“”I have no money. “I had no one to ask for and I didn’t know what to do, so I stole bread for my child and I to eat.”
He spoke in a calm tone with no light in his eyes.
After hearing the story, the president stood up and picked up a piece of A4 paper.
It was filled with information about financial support and the phone number of the reception desk at City Hall.
‘From now on, take this paper and go to city hall to check the support you can receive.
When it’s over, I hope you’ll come back to this store with your child.
I’ll collect the bread from here for now.’
I, who had a strong sense of justice, could not understand the president’s response.
‘Listen carefully. Someone like that has to reach out to someone like that.’
I went back to the store with an annoyed feeling, saying, “The owner wants to do that, so let’s do whatever we want.”
Surprisingly, in the evening, the woman returned to the store with her child.
It appears that the application process has been completed successfully and a screening process is currently underway to ensure that financial support can be received.
The boss is a woman
‘Live so that you can be confident with your child’
He handed the two breads and looked into the boy’s eyes.
‘Mother says she will live hard from now on. ‘Please be a good child’
He spoke kindly.
The boy looked the boss in the eyes and nodded vigorously.
Seeing that scene, the woman cried out loud for the first time.
I felt like I had seen some form of “”correct answer””.
I later heard that the president himself had been in trouble in the past, so he desperately gathered information using “that A4 paper.”
Originally, reporting it to the police would have been the “”right answer”” in the world.
However, I felt that the president’s response was also the “correct answer.”
Lastly, one more really important thing.
Of course, you shouldn’t steal.
