“No way, I worked hard for this candy,” she responded after taking a long breath. The bullies attempted to hide their amazement at the girl’s confidence. Another one mocked, “Then, what are you little girl going to do about it?”
The first person to reach the end of the street will receive the candy, but if I win, you will leave me alone. That’s my challenge to you.
These bullies exchanged looks of surprise at a young girl challenging them. “All right, wager 3..2..1 to go!”
Gracy felt as though her life depended on her running like a cheetah. She was more concerned with crossing the finish line when she realised she had left the bullies behind.
She surprised herself by becoming the first to cross the finish line! She was tired and panting. Panting and barely able to speak, she smiled triumphantly and said, “A deal is a deal.”
She then gave them some candy, letting them know that kindness is more powerful than bullying
She felt proud as she made her way home, her heart much fuller but her bag a little lighter. Halloween had become more than candy; it had become a time of self-defence and self-discovery.
