Description

Micah, a young boy from a small Texas town, learns the importance of respect through his interactions with his family, school, and a reclusive neighbor named Mr. Sam. Micah’s journey begins at school where a new teacher encourages respect towards nature. This inspires Micah to feed Mr. Sam’s horses, but his failure to ask for permission results in a scolding from Mr. Sam. Embarrassed, Micah tries to show respect in everything he does. After a storm damages Mr. Sam’s fence, Micah helps corral the horses, earning Mr. Sam’s approval. The next day, remembering to ask for permission, Micah feeds the horses again, confirming his understanding of respect to Mr. Sam. The story concludes with Micah feeling proud and ready to share respect with others.
