Richard (aka The Beast) really wants to win the Thanksgiving Candy Corn contest by guessing the correct number of candies in the jar. Unfortunately, guesses are earned for every page a student reads in their book, and Richard is a poor reader. While Richard is alone in the classroom admiring the Candy Corns he absentmindedly ate three pieces. What should Richard do? What will the teacher Ms. Rooney do when she finds out?Aside from the dilemma of whether Richard should own up and tell the truth or try to hide his mistake, there is another very important side issue about how to be a good friend. Richard is having a Thanksgiving sleepover, but some of the boys in the class do not want to come to his party if another certain classmate will be attending. This can lead to great discussion about politeness, compassion, being helpful, and being a good friend.
