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.

The CMA's report also found that Apple and Google manipulate the choices given to mobile phone users to make their own browsers "the clearest or easiest option."
And it said that the a revenue-sharing deal between the two U.S. Big Tech companies "significantly reduces their financial incentives" to compete in mobile browsers on Apple's iOS operating system for iPhones.
