The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott: and by-and-by when an opportunity comes to redress them, he outwits

"Yes, truly. Anything you say," replies the shortsighted parent,
preparing herself to sing, "The Three Little Kittens" half a
dozen times over, or to take her family to "Buy a penny bun," regardless
of wind or limb. But Demi corners her by the cool reply...
"Then we'll go and eat up all the raisins."
