A young boy befriends and innocently courts an awkward girl. She is ridiculed by her classmates, teased by other boys and when our hero male protagonist intervenes in her defense, those boys beat him up.
Why does he endure all this?
Who knows? Love is blind, right.
Well, maybe not–for we next see the young girl alongside her mom, a flat-out gorgeous knockout of a woman.
The lesson is simply that waiting over the long haul for an investment to pay off handsomely is indeed worth the wait.
