A Danish Father's 'Responsibility Education'

Rout is a big shot at the fish market here. He has a son over 1.9 meters tall, who is very sensible and obedient. Besides going to school, he spends almost all his free time helping his parents with their labor. Old Rout has always been a cheerful and kind person, but that time was an exception. I personally saw Old Rout drag young Rout into the car, his face ashen. I hurried forward to inquire what was wrong. Old Rout told me with a dark expression that this afternoon, Rout sold a defective insulated box with a loose plastic plug to a fisherman in the store. This box was one he had taken out to return, and Rout didn't know about it. I smiled and told Old Rout to calm down, "In China, we have a saying, 'Ignorance is no offense.'" Old Rout said, "It's true I didn't tell him. But as a store clerk, he should have checked the box carefully for the customer when selling it. Now, he needs to come with me to compensate for the other person's loss." Unfortunately, that fisherman, Van der Sar, was not available that day. As expected, the situation unfolded as anticipated. A day later, Old Rout found the fisherman at the fish market. The entire box of fish had spoiled and emitted a foul stench. Old Rout called his son back from class. In front of everyone, Old Rout had Rout place the box of spoiled fish on his own scale, weigh it, then take out a calculator and calculate the fisherman's loss based on the price of that type of fish that day, amounting to about 1000 Euros. He showed the calculator to his son and said, "See? This is the loss caused by your mistake. You need to know that you must bear the consequences of your own errors.
