The Story

Every household item carries a strict price tag for the biological daughter, from fifty cents for orange juice to one dollar for a shower. The clear pricing system defines her daily existence within the home. Then she witnesses her father wire ten thousand dollars to his adopted daughter as pocket money without hesitation. The sudden transfer reveals the harsh truth that the rigid financial rules apply exclusively to her. The biological daughter finally realizes that the strict accounting system is a personal burden placed solely on her, while the adopted daughter receives unrestricted financial support.
