In class we read the story "ONE" a Teacher's Choice Award book by Kathryn Otoshi about bullying.

               In this story, there was a color named Blue and he was always bullied by

Red.  Red would say, “I’m hot and you’re not,” and Blue would feel very

discouraged. The other colors would always try to cheer and brighten him up by

saying that he was a nice color, but they never stood up to Red.

      Then one day, One came along and said jokes to all the colors. Everyone was

laughing and having a good time until Red saw what was happening. He yelled,

“Stop laughing!” Everyone stopped laughing except for One. He just stood tall like

an  arrow and said firmly, “No.”

    When Yellow saw this she turned to a two, Green turned to three, Purple

turned to four, Orange turned to five, and Blue turned to six! Red couldn’t stop

them from having a wonderful time anymore because they would just stand up to

him.

   Red got so mad he rolled and rolled and felt so small. He thought about how he acted to  

all of the colors and he admitted that it isn’t good to bully. So, he turned into a seven and

became friends to everyone.

  I learned that it’s not good to bully and if you are bullied, stand up to the bully.
