Turns out the kids who hoarded pinecones during recess were rebels.
Sequoia and Tamil ArchivesKings Canyon National Parks shared on Facebook a note explaining why the attached stolen pinecone was being returned.
SEE ALSO: Kid's literal answer to bonus question is too perfectThe note reads:
To whom it may concern:
I took a pine cone out of the forest and I wanted to return it. I hope it will be placed near the General Grant tree because that is where I took it.
I am sorry for my decision.
Thank you.
The thief didn't sign the note, but based on the handwriting it might have been written by a child (with the letter-writing etiquette of a business person).
In the Facebook post, the park explains why taking pinecones (and Giant Sequoia cones, which they point out is the proper classification for the scotch-taped object) is against their rules. They write, "It's a tough environment here. The animals need their nibbles and the area needs the seeds and vegetation."
Here's hoping this little author continues to use their guilty conscience for good.
