The heartwarming story of the month

I know about a girl who sold her little brother down the river to get a piece of bread. Once she asked me,
"Did I make a wrong choice?"
I answered,
"Don't take it to heart. The worth of your life is equal to the one of your little brother--to wit, your life and a piece of bread is worth more than the life of your brother."
What I spoke seemed to put her fears to rest.
