Ned, lonely at Boarding School, falls in with a group of similarly lonely boys who gamble to pass the weekends when the other boys are home with their families. All that Ned has to wager is a box of chocolates he pocketed just before his father took him to school--but he discovers, after he has already wagered it, that the box had been intended as a gift to him from his late mother. He loses it, and learns that gambling always includes at least one unforeseen outcome.
