4th-grader apologizes to governor for horrible crime of stealing a pen and a hazelnutSometimes the guilt of a crime is just too much to bear, and the perpetrator has to come clean or risk bearing the weight of his transgression for a lifetime.  For an Oregon fourth-grader, that crime was theft. The theft of a pen. Oh, and also a single hazelnut, from an undisclosed mixed nut bowl perhaps.  Oregon governor Kate Brown received a letter from Samuel, a fourth-grader who had recently visited the Capitol building, apologizing for a theft that had somehow gone unnoticed. SEE ALSO: Kraft ad teaches moms how to swear in front of their 'monkey-flunking' kids Samuel explained what he did and apologized, writing "these things were not mine and it was wrong for me to take them I'm very sorry." He included the pen as well as a single dollar to reimburse the cost of the hazelnut. It is one of the more luxurious nuts, after all. Samuel asked for the forgiveness of both the governor and the people of Oregon and generously, Brown granted him that peace in a handwritten note.  WATCH: This toddler monitor is helping parents track their roaming kids

Lola Wasn't Alone

Lola Wasn't AloneThere are few subjects more painful than slavery. The word itself conjures images of the most shameful and ugly parts of humanity and our past, histories most would prefer to distance themselves from. This may in part be why, in just two short days, The Atlantic's article "My Family's Slave," by the journalist Alex Tizon about his family's enslavement of a woman named Eudocia "Lola" Tomas Pulido, has caught the attention of and moved thousands of readers. The title itself is shocking in its admission of slavery tucked right into a modern American home.

U.S.: Military solution to North Korea would be 'tragic on an unbelievable scale'

U.S.: Military solution to North Korea would be 'tragic on an unbelievable scale'By Phil Stewart and David Brunnstrom WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Friday that any military solution to the North Korea crisis would be "tragic on an unbelievable scale" and Washington was working internationally to find a diplomatic solution.

It has been working to develop a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the U.S. mainland, and experts say its test on Sunday of a new missile was another important step toward that aim.
