The sins of the fathers may be visited on the sons, but how often we see repeated the old familiar pattern of the sons destroying the lifework of the fathers! The Zeritsky Brothers werefanatically meticulous. They supervised every detail of their operations, and kept their records with an elaborate system of checks and double checks. They were shrewd enough to realize that complete dependability was essential to their business. A satisfied Zeritsky client was a silent client. One dissatisfied client would be enough to blow the business apart.
父輩的罪孽或許會懲罰到兒子身上，但我們經常看到的是兒輩毀了父親畢生的事業，這幾乎成了司空見慣的事。齊里茨基兄弟是工作極度過細的人。他們監督操作過程的每個細節，并以一套反復核實的精細制度保存著所有的檔案。他們是精明的生意人，深知絕對可靠性對他們的生意至關重要。滿意的齊氏顧客才會保持沉默。只要一個顧客不滿意，就足以毀掉整個事業。
The sons, in their greed, over-expanded to the point where they could not, even among the four of them, personally supervise each and every detail. A fatal mistake was bound to occur sooner or later. When it did, the victim broadcast his grievance to the world.
他們的兒輩由于貪婪，生意擴展過分，結果，即使他們兄弟四人一起干，也無法親自監督每個細節。致命的錯誤遲早總會發生。果然，一件差錯真的發生了，其受害者將他的抱怨公之于世。
The story appeared in a national magazine, every copy of which was sold an hour after it appeared on the stands. Under the title They Put the Freeze on Me! John A. Monahan told his tragic tale. At the age of 37, he had fallen desperately in love with a girl of 16. She was immature and frivolous and wanted to "play around" a little more before she settled down.
這個事件登載在一家全國性的雜志上，該期雜志在報攤上一個鐘點工夫就一銷而光。在"他們強行將我冷凍"的標題下，約翰·A·莫納漢講述了他的悲慘故事。他在三十七歲那年墮入情網，愛上了一個十六歲的姑娘。姑娘尚不成熟，舉止輕浮，在婚嫁之前還想"鬼混"一陣。
