This story is about a boy who does NOT like it when he does not get his own way. He throws fists all the time at home. When he gets to school he does not throw fists though, because it's against the rules. When he says the rule out loud, all of a sudden things change at home.

The moral of this story is exactly what the rule is at school "you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit." So the moral is that you need to be able to handle disappointment appropriately.
