And that's precisely the attitude that got us in this welfare-mindset that's ruining everything today.

It's a supply and demand world, and the supplier only charges as much as the consumer is willing to pay. You don't think those girls would be willing to pay big for their rescue?

Besides, he wouldn't even need to charge big. It's the principle at stake more than anything. He could have just asked for whatever lunch money they had and called it even. Or, there were two girls, right? He could have offered to rescue one, and let the bidding begin. That's how the real world works, kiddies, and better they learn it now than later.


But instead, he provides a 'free' service, and now those girls will likely as not become a burden on society, always expecting people to help them out for nothing when they get in trouble. Better he'd left them there.
