** Don’t hold grudges at people. Even if they’ve wronged you, don’t stop doing your job or let it change ''you''.

** Making things yourself and getting creative is a great thing and gives yourself credibility.
* AssholeVictim: Hal the Ice Cream Man. He refuses to serve Bessie after she turned him in over running a stop sign, leaves town, takes away all the kid’s ice cream, insults them loudly, and refuses to accept Bessie’s apology for turning him in.
* BadBoss: Hal’s boss chews him out for running the stop sign.
* BreakTheHaughty: Hal is an ice cream man who caters to children (as you expected), and at first was friendly. But he did not take it well when things didn't go his way, especially when he learns it was Bessie who reported him even though he doesn’t know her. He turns into a grumpy mess, deliberately spoils his own ice cream so she can’t have any when ordered, and even at one point, refuses to accept Bessie’s apology, takes away all the kid’s ice cream they ''bought themselves'', leaves town, and insults the ''all'' kids loudly before his departure.

* BrokenAesop: Even though this episode is to give the message you shouldn’t snitch on people, Hal is obviously not a nice guy either.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Hal refusing service to Bessie for turning him into his boss for running a stop sign. Hal goes way too far! He turns on the kids, ''TAKES AWAY'' their rightfully paid products, and refuses to accept Bessie’s apology for her mistake of turning him in over the stop sign.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Hal didn’t realize Bessie was going to “save summer” by giving banana pops instead of ice cream to everyone in San Francisco when he left and that her mistake was going to be made up to him.
* DueToTheDead: The kids shortly after Hal leaves treat his absnece as if he died and wear black clothes, t-shirts that say "Never forget" and mourn at a "tombstone" they made of him.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Bessie "restores summer" to San Fransisco, bringing Hal back, due to the popularity of her peanut-coated, chocolate banana pops.
* EverybodyCries: The children start crying after Hal closes his truck for good, they even paid respects to them.
