About a week ago,when I was playing basketball at our local park,I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller,skinnier boy.They were 31 him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face.32 I saw that,I walked over to the group.
I stepped 33 them and the smaller boy,and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy of 34 they were doing to him.One of the boys replied,“He’s weird.” At that,I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird,and the 35 was “No.” So,I asked another boy what the word “weird” 36 ,and he said,“Different.” That was my cue(暗示).I told them that everyone is 37 ,and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them.They all stood 38 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 39 to let him play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so 40 .As I looked around,I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park 41 no one else had stopped to help this boy.I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to 42 someone in need,but I felt sad that 43 else had even taken a second look.
I hope that my action helped them 44 that they could have made a difference with a little 45 ,and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.
