LECTIONARY TALES FOR THE PULPIT
Series III, Cycle A
Mae is Chris' best friend. Mae would do just about anything for Chris, who grew up down the street from her. Chris is one year older, and he had picked on Mae when she moved into the neighborhood. They were standing at the bus stop, and Mae was looking very nervous. Chris called her a name, feeling very much the smart first grader. But when Chris saw that Mae was crying, he instantly regretted it. He came after school that day and apologized, offering her a race car as a peace offering.
