This short story deals with many different themes, including poverty, shame and honor. It revolves around a young man who wants to work in order to buy food. One day he is informed that he cannot be paid. He even refuses a loan because considers it something which is not earned. In the end, without finding any solution, he steals food, but still keeps his pride. He steals only a glass milk and some cookies and promises to pay back. The correct answer is B.
