One day, when I was a freshman in
high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of
his books.
I thought to myself, 'Why would
anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be
a nerd.
I had quite a weekend planned
(parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon),
so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of
kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his
books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in
the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw
them land in the grass about ten feet from him...
He looked up and I saw this terrible
sadness in his eyes .
My heart went out to him. So,
I jogged over to him as he crawled around looking for his
glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said,
'Those guys are jerks.'
They really should get lives.
' He looked at me and said,
'Hey thanks!'
There was a big smile on his
face.
