excitedly raised his hand. He said, “Fat,

class, “Children, will you please excuse me?
Romeo, please come with me outside for a
while.”

“Romeo, do you think what you did is good?
You know, shaming someone is bad. It is not
good to humiliate your classmate.
What do you think is the best thing that you
will do now?” Romeo answered,
“Ma’am, I am very sorry. I did not realize
that it would hurt you and Tom.
Don’t worry, Ma’am, I will ask an apology
from Tom.”
51. “All right then, it’s okay. I’m happy
that you understood that it is not good
to tease anybody. You may go to Tom
now,” said Mrs. Pe with a smile.
Romeo went back inside the
classroom and talked to Tom.
52. “I’m so sorry, Tom. I know what I did
was wrong and even if you did not say
anything I feel that you were hurt. I
promise I won’t do it again,” Romeo
said humbly “It’s okay, Romeo. I accept
your apology,” Tom said happily.

71. Camila is a Grade 6 pupil. She lives a simple life with her three siblings
and their parents.
One day, as she was entering their school gate, she heard a soft cry.
She almost leaped when she stumbled upon a cute puppy. As she looked closer,
she found out that it was badly hurt. It has a wound on its left ear and fresh blood
was dripping from it.
When she was about to pick up the puppy, a group of three boys called her.
One of them said, “Camila, never mind that puppy. Look at how disgusting it is!”
Camila replied, “Yes, for you this puppy is dirty and smells odd. But like us,
they have feelings, too. When people hurt them, they also feel the pain. And when
somebody loves and cares for them, they also love back and care for that person.”
Kian, Camila’s classmate, timidly said, “We’re very sorry, Camila.” We made fun
of the puppy. We did not realize that they also need love and care like us. Don’t worry,
we will help you bring the puppy to the veterinarian so that it could be treated and
be well again.”
