Be How You Are
Edu, a kind and polite 5-year-old in Madrid, faces bullying for being different. Struggling with exclusion, he learns to embrace his uniqueness and teaches others about acceptance and justice.
Edu lived in a colorful neighborhood in Madrid. He loved to play and laugh with everyone. But there was one problem. Some kids didn't like Edu because he was different. They teased him and made him feel sad.
One day, at the park, Edu wanted to join a game of soccer. - Can I play too? Edu asked. - No, you're too different! a kid sneered. Edu felt his heart sink.
Edu decided to try again the next day. He brought his favorite ball. But the kids turned away. - We don't want you here, they said. Edu felt lonely.
At school, Edu tried to sit with classmates at lunch. - Can I sit here? he asked. - No room for you! they replied. With a heavy heart, Edu ate alone.
Edu felt like the world was against him. No one wanted to play or talk with him. He didn't understand why being different was bad. He thought about giving up trying to make friends.
One afternoon, he met an old man feeding birds. - Why so glum, young one? the man asked. Edu shared his troubles. - Be true to yourself. Kindness will shine through, the man advised.
Edu thought about the man's words. He decided to try one more time. With a smile, he approached the kids. - Let's play and have fun, he suggested. His kindness surprised them.
The kids hesitated but decided to give it a try. As they played, they saw how fun and kind Edu was. - You're really nice! one of them said. Edu's heart filled with hope.
Slowly, Edu became part of the group. The kids learned that differences made them unique. - We were wrong about you, they admitted. Edu smiled, knowing justice was served.
Edu was happy again. He taught his friends about kindness and acceptance. - Be how you are, he said. They all agreed that being different was wonderful. Together, they celebrated their friendship.
