Amy loved to study. But she dreaded going to school. She began making excuses every other day to avoid going to school. Her parents were worried. They asked her what was wrong, but she would not say anything. One day, Amy told her elder sister about her predicament. “There’s a bully named Vera in my class. She steals my homework and shows it to the teacher as her own. She gets good grades with my work, whereas my grades are going low.” Amy’s sister told her, “I have an idea.” Then she whispered in her ear. Next day, when Vera came to steal Amy’s homework, Amy willingly gave it. The teacher was angry with Vera because all the answers were wrong. Then Vera blurted out, “Those answers aren’t mine. They are Amy’s.” This made the teacher even angrier. She took Vera to the dean. Vera never dared to bully anyone again.
