There was this class, and the teacher decided that they would work together to make the rules and punishments.
One rule, and the only one relevent to the story was you can't steal someone elses lunch. Back then they used those scary sticks, and whoever stole someone elses lunch had to get hit 10 times in the back with the scary stick.
One day, a really thin kid who came to school every day without a lunch, stole lunch from a bigger kid. Once the teacher saw what had happened, he said basically rules are rules.
This kid was soo weak that it looked like something like 10 in the back might be a little much for the kid, so the bigger kid stood up and said he was going to take the beatings for the little one.
