He goes through all the natural emotions a child at this stage would go through - anger, disappointment, embarrassment, rejection. He turns to his mother who is his real source of comfort. She with gentleness teaches him a very important lesson about life - she teaches him that life is going to be full of disappointments but we have a choice of how to react. She advises him and allows Lecham to make a choice: either to continue to be miserable or to move on with life and experience life positively. Lecham finds out that when he chooses to be happy and respectful, things turn around and he feels happy again.
