DO NOT TRY TO BE LIKE OTHERS
Once there was a boy, who always wanted to be like all the other children.
He tried everything they suggested and he did not know, that actually they were joking with him.
This group of children kept telling him to do things so that he could be part of their group.
They made him swim trough the river, it was actually not good as the river had lots of crocodiles and other scary creatures that could hurt him.
They could not believe he did this just to stay in their group. Luckily for him he got home safely.
This just kept on and on as they thought it was so funny, that anything they asked him he would do.
The boy had no other friends and he so wanted to be like them. One day one of the boys said, I think you must jump off the roof of your house. He took a ladder and got onto the roof, they all stood watching him.
What they did not know is that he had a been doing this since he was a little boy and knew just how to jump. He came down without hurting himself but fell on all these friends waiting.
One of them was struck in the eye with the corner of his head. He could not believe how sore it was, and all the friends were shocked at the blood pouring out of his eye.
They all ran away, except the boy who jumped off the roof.
The boy called his mother and got and ambulance to rush the friend to hospital.
There they told the boy with the sore eye, he was very lucky as his friend reacted very quickly and this prevented him from losing his eye.
From then on the boy who hurt his eye realised how wrong they were in making him do all these nasty things. They became very good friends and never made friends with the other boys again as they were nasty children.
Later in life they stayed friends and found one of the boys, actually the cruellest one was using drugs and they felt so sorry for him as he looked terrible.
He did not look like the same friend from a long time ago.
He stayed in the group and they used him as the joke from then on.
These friends took him to a place where they helped him get better and stopped using drugs.
He went to university and got a degree.
He is now working very hard teaching children not to follow groups as it is better to go to school get good friends and never start using drugs.
So it is never too late, to change bad ways, especially with good friends.
