[edit] Synopsis
When the school hamster dies a funeral is arranged. However the turn out ends up being the entire population of the town. In the end it is discovered that speedy is simply the name of every hamster the school has ever had and that he is quietly replaced whenever he dies to shield the children. At first people grow angry but are eventually calmed and honor the concept of "speedy" and all the various hamsters had done instead of the specific speedy that was being buried.
