Spider
A 12-year-old boy named Tomek, nicknamed 'Spider' because of his fragile appearance, faces bullying at school. When a new and larger student becomes the new target of the bully, Tomek finds the courage to stand up for him, teaching the class a powerful lesson in courage and kindness.
In a bustling school classroom, a 12-year-old boy named Tomek sat quietly at his desk. His classmates called him 'Spider' because of his small, fragile appearance. Tomek wore old-fashioned glasses and often kept to himself. He was shy and usually avoided confrontation. One day, a new student named Max joined the class. Max was much larger and stronger, catching the attention of Rocky, the class bully.
Tomek noticed Rocky starting to pick on Max. Rocky shoved Max and laughed, making fun of his size. Tomek wanted to help, but he was too scared to stand up to Rocky. He felt his heart race and his palms sweat. Max looked sad and defeated, just like Tomek felt whenever Rocky bullied him.
As days passed, Rocky's bullying of Max continued. Max tried to ignore it, but it was clear he was struggling. Tomek felt guilty for not doing anything. During recess, Rocky pushed Max to the ground. Tomek clenched his fists, feeling a mix of anger and fear. He knew he had to do something, but the thought of confronting Rocky terrified him.
Tomek felt defeated. He couldn't bring himself to stand up to Rocky. He considered giving up and staying out of it. The fear of getting hurt or humiliated was too much. He sat alone in the classroom, feeling hopeless. Just then, Mrs. Johnson, the kind teacher, approached him.
- Tomek, you have a kind heart, Mrs. Johnson said softly. - Courage isn't about not being afraid; it's about doing the right thing even when you're scared. Tomek looked up at her, feeling a spark of hope. He realized he couldn't let fear control him. He had to stand up for Max, no matter what.
The next day, Tomek saw Rocky bullying Max again. This time, Tomek took a deep breath and stepped forward. - Leave him alone, Rocky, Tomek said firmly. Rocky was taken aback. - What did you say, Spider? Tomek stood his ground. - I said, leave him alone. Rocky hesitated, then backed off. The class watched in awe as Tomek stood up for Max.
