QUESTIONS
Why do you think Helen felt so uncomfortable when she was asking for the butter, and later when her mother asked her where she got the cranberries?
Do you suppose Mr. Dingle would ever have known about the seven cranberries?
But who would always have known?
Why was it that Helen did not think taking the cranberries was really “stealing”?
What did Helen’s mother think about it?
What do you think about taking even the smallest thing that doesn’t belong to you?

We sow an act and reap a habit;
We sow a habit and reap a character;
We sow a character and reap a destiny.
