About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our city park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on作弄 a smaller boy. They were calling his names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked something in his face. When I saw that, I walked over to the group.

I stepped     them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” Then I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the     was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird”     , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue暗示. I told them that everyone was     , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood     for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He even    him to play with them.

     I thanked the boy for being so brave. As I looked around, I realized that there were many other people at the park    no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was     to stand up against his friends to help someone in need, but I felt sad that    else had even taken a second look.

I hope that I’ve helped them realize that they could make a     with a little effort and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.
