I'm disappointed in this story. I was hoping it would be cute and, since I love candy corn, the title caught my eye. Richard is rude, gossips about Matthew who continues to be nice to him, and steals three candy corns from the jar on his teachers desk. Yes, he ends up apologizing to Matthew and convinces him (with a few "hints") to come to his sleepover, he confesses and apologizes to his teacher, but only after Matthew brings him three replacement candy corns.

I don't know. I wouldn't use this story as an example of making mistakes and then trying to fix them, but I think that was supposed to be the moral.
