Question : A man hired a worker.
Answer : Yes, this is like a sale. If the worker is a minor and did so without the permission of his guardian, he is liable. If he is an adult of sound mind, he is not liable. It is like a well, unless the palm tree is like what we call a "hatayana." Do you know what "hatayana" means? "Atayana" means rotten. If it is rotten and he was not informed, he is liable.
