Mr. Peabody’s Apples

December 2008
Mr. Peabody’s Apples takes place in 1949 in Happville, USA. One Saturday, Mr. Peabody, the loved teacher and baseball coach, finds himself all alone on the baseball field. He wonders where everybody is until he sees the bat boy, Billy, walking toward him with a sad look on his face. Billy tells him that another student, Tommy spread a rumor that Mr. Peabody was a thief after Tommy saw that Mr. Peabody took apples twice from the local market.
Mr. Peabody then shows Tommy that what matters is the truth, not how things appear. He teaches him an unforgettable lesson about how we must choose our words carefully to avoid causing harm to others.
