Heinz
In Europe, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that doctors thought might save her. However, the druggist who invented it was charging $4,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money and tried every legal means, but he could only get together about $2,000. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said no. Having tried every legal means, Heinz gets desperate and considers breaking into the man’s store to steal the drug for his wife.
