It was just a
regular day. Ben was just arriving at school.

Bobby the Big
Bully would go to little kids and take them by
the feet and tip them up side down. Well today
was Ben's day to get robbed of his lunch money.
"Put me down!" Ben yelled as he was
being held up side down by his feet.
Out came a five dollar bill.
"What do we have here? It's five buckaroos!
I know what I'm gonna go buy after school today.
I'm gonna go buy myself a game from Mumbo Jumbo
Video," Bobby taunted.
"No, please don't spend my money. I have to
buy my pizza. Please give it back, please,"
Ben said as he was sniffling and crying. But,
Bobby just threw Ben down on the ground and
picked up the five dollars and laughed, "You're
worthless." And then he walked away.

Ding-a-ling-ling
went the school bell. It was now after school and
as Ben was walking home, he thought about a plan.
He was thinking that he should get his gang
together, Lanny, Sean, and him to get bullying to
stop at Chestnut Elementary.

Lanny, Sean, and
Ben just sat there and thought of a plan to stop
bullying at Chestnut Elementary School. They
found it was a hard crime to solve.
"Man. Maybe Bobby doesn't have the power at
home so maybe he thinks he can have power by
picking on little kids like us,"Ben said
with a grin.
Lanny said, " I know maybe if we just sit
down and talk to him and tell him how we feel
about him bullying us then maybe he might stop."
"That sounds like a brilliant idea Lanny"
replied Ben. "Ok, boys we have our plan to
get that mean kid to stop pushing us around."
The next day at recess, Ben and his crew walked
over to Bobby with caution.
"What do you little scamps want?"
hissed Bobby.
"Um.........we're here because we don't like
you pushing us little kids around. You should be
a good role model for us and being a big bully
isn't really a good role model,"said Ben.

"Okay. I'll
stop," said Bobby and then he hung his head
in shame. "The reason why I was bullying you
was because I have no friends and I'd thought I'd
be cool by bullying you little kids."
"Bobby do you want to be our friend and be
good role models for Sean, Lanny, and me?"
asked Ben.
"I'm sorry," apologized Bobby.
And off they went to have a good game of soccer.
And that's how bullying was stopped at Chestnut
Elementary.
