Kaleb Kurious was in trouble! He was caught in the school playground pushing girls down and running. As he sat in front of his mother, he looked at his feet and wondered what his punishment would be. After listening to what happened in the playground and reading the note that was sent home, Mrs. Kurious decided on a punishment.
Mrs. Kurious gave Kaleb a piece of paper with letters all over it. She told him that the letters formed famous quotes, but the quotes were in a code. Kaleb was told to go to his room and decode the paper. Once it was done, he should have a lesson learned on the importance of kindness.
Can you help Kaleb decode the paper, so that he doesn't miss the nightly baseball game?
