Comic StoryThe Pilfered Pigskin (6 pages)
SynopsisAll the guys are waiting for Fred to show up with his football so they can start playing. He's late showing up, because someone stole Fred's football. It bothers them all, because it means that someone is a thief, but also because Fred's family can't afford many extras. With nothing to do, Jim goes home to study for a test, but Phil doesn't. Phil ends up looking at Jim's paper for the answers during the test and Joan witnesses this. She can't believe Phil would do such a thing. The questions and text article that follows discusses stealing and cheating.
FeaturingThe Little Things
ContentCharacters: Mr. Foster; Mrs. Foster; Joan Foster; Jim Foster; Fred; Paul; Peter; John; Phil; Cindy; Pat; Helen; Susan; Marge
NotesAn ongoing series, whereby a situation is set up in 4 pages with no resolution and the reader is asked to judge what the right thing to do is in the given situation. One text page of 20 true/false questions about the story you just read follows, along with 2 discussion questions. There is another text page which discusses the moral implications of both sides of the story. The correct answers to the questions are upside-down on the bottom of the page and you can tally your score on a scoresheet. The word balloons used in this series stand out and call attention to themselves, as they are not rounded in shape, but oddly shaped, having anywhere from 6 to 9 sides.
