Then, a surprise: the principal, Mr. Frederick, took the stage in a matching robot costume. “Where’s my fellow robot?” he called out. “Levi, join me!”
Stunned, Levi stepped forward. Mr. Frederick, who called himself “Captain Red,” looked Levi in the eyes. “Agent Blue,” he said, “your suit is fantastic! Mine was custom-made, but I bet yours is filled with love from your family. That’s worth more than anything you can buy.”
As Levi’s face lit up, he felt pride replace his sadness. Mr. Frederick’s gesture taught everyone the value of love and effort over material things.
Levi ended up winning the contest, and his classmates apologized, admiring his father’s work. With a beaming smile, Levi shared his Halloween treats with everyone. “Let’s all remember to be kind to each other,” he said, echoing his parents’ words.
Mr. Frederick closed with a reminder: “In a world that can sometimes be tough, let’s stand up for each other and always choose kindness.”
