Stanley is a hardworking pupil, well liked by his teachers and friends. As he never brings his lunch to school, his friends share their meal with him every day. However this is not to the liking of one of the teachers, Kadhoos, who forces students to share their food with him. One day Kadhoos takes Stanley aside and threatens him, forbidding him to come back to school the next day if he doesn‘t bring lunch. What impact will it have on the boy and his surroundings? And why doesn‘t Stanley carry lunch to school?
