The Coat Caper

Shelby S., age 8, Utah

One day at lunchtime, some girls from my class were hiding another girl’s coat. They invited me to help them hide it. I knew it was wrong, so I said no and then I watched where they hid it. When I was sure my classmates were gone, I got the coat and took it back to our classroom. The owner of the coat was there, looking all over for it. I felt glad that I brought back her coat.
