Mandy and friend walking

I’m so hungry!

Me too. Let’s stop here.

Hmm. I’ll just have a snack at home.

Want one? Here.

Oh, I didn’t see you pay for it.

friend talking while Mandy looks at the apple

Oh … uh … I didn’t. I just took it. Some of the other kids take stuff all the time.

Mandy holding the apple back out to friend

I can’t take this. I wouldn’t feel good about it.

I don’t really feel that good about it either.

I think I know what will make us both feel better.

two girls smiling and walking away

You were right. I feel a lot better after taking it back.

Me too. It always feels good to do the right thing.
