A grocer named Szabo living in the village of Kecskemet declared that 110 had worked long enough and that the members of his family were old enough to fend for themselves. He informed them he was about to sell his business and retire.
The family held a council of war and the youngest daughter, a prize debater, harangued the grocer on family responsibilities. Szabo retorted that his wife had become a shrew and his children ungrateful. lie said he had given them the best years of his life. Thereupon the family condemned the man to death and hanged him to a beam in his shop. The prospective buyer of the business next morning was confronted by the dead body.
