"What if it was somebody's lunch money for the whole week?" Vetter asked.

Vetter marched into the Administration offices at Hale Middle School and turned the money into a secretary at the counter. She grinned from ear-to-ear when she heard the story.

The Hale secretary told Vetter, "You are a very generous boy." Then, she handed Vetter two gift certificates for free hamburgers at his favorite restaurant, In-N-Out Burger.
