The whole day at school, Max couldn’t stop thinking about his plan gone wrong. As it turns out, staying home wasn’t as fun as he’d imagined. He spent the afternoon cleaning the garage, writing an essay on how much he loved school (which he didn’t), and reflecting on his life choices.
By the time the bell rang for his last class, Max had learned an important lesson: sometimes, school might not seem fun, but the real lesson is in learning how to avoid being tricked by your own cleverness.
And from that day on, Max made peace with school. Not because he suddenly loved it, but because he realized that skipping school only leads to much worse adventures—like garage cleaning and essays about love for school.
The end… or is it?
