A second later Miss Mackle looked up. “Song Lee! Who put that clay in your hair?”

Mary turned away.

“I did,” Song Lee said. “It is St. Patrick’s Day hat.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

We all knew Song Lee just didn’t want to tattle.

“Hmmm,” the teacher said. “You know we don’t put clay in our hair.”

“Yes, Miss Mackle.” And she pulled it off her head.

I looked over at Mary. She was wiping her eyes with her sweater sleeve. “I’m sorry, Song Lee,” she whispered. “You are the nicest person I know.”

That afternoon, when it was time for our green smorgasbord, we all lined up. Harry was first. Mr. Cardini, the principal, was second. And I was third. Song Lee was holding hands with Mary and Ida behind me.

Everyone watched Harry uncover his plastic container. “Ta-dah! ANTS!”

“ANTS?” everyone gasped.

Then Harry showed us what was inside. Twenty-four small pieces of celery filled with peanut butter and dotted with raisins.
