Sixteen-year-old Adam came home soaked from the rain but was upbeat, saying he had given his umbrella to a friend named Kevin who helped him at school. His father, Steve, dismissed Kevin, revealing that Kevin’s father, Patrick, had been fired for trying to steal money. Steve warned Adam to stay away, but Adam valued his friendship with Kevin.
Kevin later broke off their friendship, revealing his father’s desperate situation. Patrick had tried to steal to pay for his wife’s surgery but was fired and now needed more surgery himself. Adam, moved by Kevin’s story, secretly took a job mopping floors at a grocery store to help.
Steve was shocked to find Adam working there and learned the truth about his son’s actions. Touched by Adam’s compassion, Steve decided to help Patrick with the surgery costs, acknowledging, “Two wrongs don’t make a right. Our boys understand the world better than we did.”
In the end, Steve and Patrick reconciled, and Adam’s empathy led to a positive resolution for all.
