Question

Katie was in big trouble．She was such a sweet kid; a third - grade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katie’s she was never ever a discipline（纪律） problem． I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry．

It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable 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 assumed a sit - down with Katie would solve the problem, but failed．So 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 happened to your homemade lunch?" I asked． "I lose it," she responded． I leaned back in my chair and said, "I don't believe you, Katie．" She didn't care．"Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie?" I took a new track． "No．I just lose it," she said．Well, there was nothing else I could do．

The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table． He always looked sad．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 and I talked to Katie．It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch．He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school． Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed． I had never seen parents so proud of their child．Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her．But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared．

Katie still buys lunch every day at school． And every day, as she heads out of the door, her mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch．
