Witches Loaves By O Henry Summary
Martha, a middle-aged bakery owner, becomes intrigued by a man of German heritage who buys bread daily. Assuming he's an artist struggling financially, she leaves a painting in the bakery. Confirming he's an artist, Martha becomes attracted to him, wearing silk aprons and using Botox to appear more elegant. She adds butter to his bread as a sympathetic gesture, unaware he uses the loaves for architectural drawings.
When the man's drawing is ruined by the butter, his friend reveals his profession, leading to a confrontation where Martha is insulted. Disheartened, Martha removes her silk apron and decides to stop using Botox, realizing her actions were based on false assumptions.
The incident teaches her a lesson about the consequences of her assumptions and prompts her to reevaluate her actions for humanity's sake.
