A brave boy?

  Fred began to go to school two years ago. But he's still in Grade One. He's the tallest and strongest boy in his class. He doesn't listen to the teachers in class and often fights(打架) with the children. His teachers and classmates don't like him. His parents know him well, but they don't know what to do.

  It was a quarter past seven. The supper was ready but Fred didn't come back. His mother stood at the gate and looked. And ten minutes later she saw her son, all in black and blue(浑身青一块,紫一块).

  “Were you in another fight?” asked the woman.

  “No, mommy,” answered the boy. “I was just keeping a bigger boy from beating up(阻止一个大一些的男孩殴打) a smaller one!”

  “How brave(勇敢的) you are!” the woman was happy and said. “Who was the smaller boy?”

  “Me, mommy.”

A small boy at summer camp received a bag of cookies in the mail from his mother. He ate a few, and then put the rest under his bed. The next day, after lunch, he went to his tent to get a cookie. The box was gone.

That afternoon a camp leader saw another boy sitting behind a tree. He was eating the stolen cookies! “That young man,” he said to himself, “must be taught not to steal.” 

He returned to the group and found the boy whose cookies had been stolen. “Billy,” he said, “I know who stole your cookies. Will you help me teach him a lesson?”

“Well, yes. But aren’t you going to punish him?” asked the puzzled boy.

“No, that would only make him hate you.” the leader explained. “I want you to call your mother. Ask her to send you another box of cookies.”

The boy did so and soon received another box of cookies. “Now,” said the leader, “the boy who stole your cookies is down by the lake. Go and share your cookies with him.”

“But he’s the thief!”

“I know, but try it—see what will happen.”

Half an hour later, the camp leader saw the two come up the hill, hand in hand. The boy who had stolen the cookies was trying to get the other to accept his toy knife. The other boy was just refusing the gift from his new friend. He said that a few cookies weren’t that important anyway.
