Katie was in big trouble. She was such a sweet girl that a third-grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with students like Katie. I just couldn’t imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie had been running up a lot of charges in the lunchroom. Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation. So the next day, I asked Katie to my office.
“Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happens to your homemade lunch?” I asked.
“I lose it,” She answered.
I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don’t believe you, Katie. Is someone stealing your lunch?”
“No. I just lose it,” she said.
The problem was still unsolved the next week until I noticed a boy in the dining room. He was sitting alone silently at a lunch table. He had messy hair and a thin face, always wearing his oversized coat and looking sad and shy. I thought I would go and sit with him for a while. As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “Katie.” Now I understood what had happened. Later that day, I found Katie and talked to her about it.
Katie asked me not to tell her parents. But I drove to Katie’s house and told them. I had never seen parents so proud of their child. Later, Katie still bought lunch every day at school. And every morning, as she headed out of the door, her mom handed her a delicious homemade lunch.
