“If the baby cries and you are forced to leave we will refund the price of the tickets,” the usher said.The movie was boring and the couple was very disappointed. The woman said to her husband, “Make the baby cry. Then we can get our money back.”As expected, the usher gave them their money back. What’s more, they took pride in their cunning. It never would have occured to them to use their baby in order to “test out”films, but once they realized it worked they were determined to use the trick again.After that, the “wretch-ed”little baby often helped them to watch free movies. Every time they felt a movie was boring, they made the baby cry and left after their ticket fare had been refunded. The trick worked every time.One evening near the end of the movie, the couple spanked the baby’ hip as usual, but this time the baby didn’t cry. To say it more correctly, the baby was unable to cry because he had injured his throat by crying too often. When the couple took him to the hospital, things got worse. They were told that the baby must have an operation at once.Fortunately, the little baby was fine after the surgery, but it cost the couple US$10,000 to pay for the operation. It was more than 100 times what they would have paid in ticket fares!
