What’s that?
I don’t know. Let’s open it!

Wow!
It’s like a hidden treasure!

Free candy!
But I think it belongs to someone.

We should return it.
Yeah. I bet it’s from the snack stand.

We found this under the bleachers. Is it yours?

Yes! A few days ago, someone broke in and stole all our candy.

Thanks for being honest and bringing it back!

Do you think this is how superheroes feel?
I don’t know. But I want to feel like this all the time.
