The main idea of the book is selflessness. I picked this because the story made me think that the kids in the store were framed.They were accused of egging Mr.K’s store but they did not get at all angry. This is because the kids knew they had to show Mr.K that they could not have done the crime.
What happened in the story was that two boys and one girl were trying to earn money at Mr.k’s store because their grandmother works so hard. They wanted to give back to her by buying her a really nice hat. They wanted to buy the one she eyes down every time they walk to church on Sunday. She looks in the store thinking I want that but I can’t buy it because i don’t have enough money because i need to take care of the people that live with me. When I heard this part I was thinking that she is very selfless.The kids are also very selfless and they appreciate what their grandma does for them and they want to give back to her on Easter which is coming soon. They are going to try to earn the money by doing weird jobs at Mr.K’s store and they did that by helping him do stuff. Also, Mr.K is a sad man and has lived a hard life so he really had no friends. When the kids got to know him a bit better then they became friends and they earned enough money. Then Mr.K gave them the hat and when the holiday came around the grandma was as happy as ever.
