Sandy was a troubled child. The bigger boys would beat him up and eat his lunch. When he decided to complain, the boys warned him, “It will be worse if you complain!” One day, Sandy went to the park, sad and helpless. He was sitting on the bench when he saw a wasp. He became scared of it at first and then thought, ‘How could a thing so small scare me?’ Sandy realised, ‘People are scared of the wasp’s sting. That is the way it protects itself.’ The next day, a boy bullied Sandy and ate his lunch. The food was extra spicy, so the boy rushed to drink water. No one ever touched Sandy’s lunch again. When a boy came to beat Sandy, he said, “I have informed the police about you. They have fixed cameras everywhere. Touch me and they will come to catch you.” The scared boy ran off. Taking inspiration from a tiny wasp, Sandy became a happy and confident child.
