Summary:
Teddy Randall is an elderly farmer that has worked on farms for more than 80 years. Her budget is dependent on the crops she grows and sells, so a thief taking over 100 pumpkins from her farm has really hurt her business. Even though she is elderly, she says that she does most of the work for her farm by herself. Being a people loving person, she says that she actually feels sorry for the crook who took her pumpkins. This past Saturday, Randall went to sleep with about 150 pumpkins covering the entire hill. When she went outside that morning, she discovered that there were only about 50 pumpkins left on her land. This thief cost Randall around $300 worth of income. The saddest part, according to Teddy, is that someone had taken advantage of her "trusting nature".
Analysis:
I think that there are lots of people who will take advantage of the elderly and/or the economy around them. It is hard to put faith in people who help you with your income, and situations like this should make farmers more aware of the things that people can take advantage of. Having too much trust can cost you around $300, in Teddy Randall's case.
