Time to Read:
Benny the Bully
by Nova C. Jalad
Benny is a bully kid. He is big and nasty when he talks. His
classmate, Gino, is really scared of him, because Benny
always takes his lunch and threatens him to hide his bag and
other belongings. All the kids in school are really afraid of
Benny and no one really dares to fight him back.
 While sitting on a bench in the park, Gino was looking at a
red ant crawling into his pants. He was so surprised when he was
not bitten by the ant. He knew that most people are scared of the
ants, despite its small size, because its bite stings. Gino spent the
whole night wondering what could be his strength to fight Benny. He
tried to think of what could frighten Benny.

The next day, Gino seemed like a new boy. He no longer

walked gazing at the ground, nor looked away when people
spoke to him. He was confident, and ready to face up anyone. In his
mind, he thought that he should no longer be afraid of anyone.
Rather, he should teach the bully a real lesson.
 At lunch break, Benny stole Gino’s lunch box. Benny ate
Gino’s food and was shocked to later realize that it was an
extremely hot and spicy rice with Adobo. He ended up crying and
coughing. Benny decided not to eat Gino’s food in the future. He
wanted to hit Gino, but this time, the latter didn’t run away. “If you hit
me, they’ll all find out. I completely memorized the phone numbers of
your parents and our teacher. I could call them right now! You will
definitely be punished,” Gino said. The tactic worked.

In the end, Gino became like a red ant who could fight
back against bully like Benny. He frightened him and made sure no
one will mess up with him.
