The Sorrowful Example

The little family of husband, wife and infant child are just existing, the wife toiling to make ends meet, while the husband is a worthless scamp. The wife manages to set aside a little of her meager earnings to save for the child's future, which is her sole thought. The husband has tried to get this money, but the wife guards it carefully.
