Daddy Jim gives him the money to buy it, but teacher finds him counting it over in school hours and takes half of it away from him as a punishment for inattention. When he goes to Miss Tabitha's shop for the valentine it is gone, and he feels angry. On his way out Sonny overhears a big gruff man intimidating little Miss Tabitha and demanding she close up or pay him the money owing him. Sonny bravely offers his fourteen cents, which are refused with a sneer. Miss Tabitha helps the little boy choose a much smaller valentine for Esther, but one better suited to his present finances. He and Dick, while mailing their valentines, get into a scrap. Result: both boys come home with scratched faces and many bruises, each saying, "You ought to have seen the other fellow." After dinner Sonny tells what transpired in the candy store, asking Daddy, "What does 'close up' mean?" Daddy tells him and both visit some of the other papas in the neighborhood, who, like Daddy Jim, have known the candy shop lady since they were boys. A handsome sum of money is gotten together, then all go to Miss Tabitha's store and deliver it to her as a "Valentine." Next day according to instructions, the little lady opens the envelope, and her heart is filled with gladness when she sees the checks with the tender messages from her "big boys and little boys." Sonny's heart is also made glad when Esther, despite the size of Dick's valentine, plainly shows that her preference is for Sonny, causing Dick to write Sonny a note to the effect that "girls is queer, anyway."
