    About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our local park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on a smaller, skinnier(皮包骨的) boy. They were 1 him names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked dirt in his face.  2 I saw that, I walked over to the group.

    I stepped 3 them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done worthy （值得）of  4 they were doing to him. One of the boys replied, "He's weird." At that, I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the 5 was" No." So, I asked another boy what the word "weird" 6, andhe said, " Different." That was my cue（暗示）. I told them that everyone is 7, and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood 8for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He 9  to let him play with them.

    I thanked the boy for being so  10. As I looked around, I realized that there were dozens of other people at the park  11no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was strong enough to stand up against his friends to 12 someone in need, but I felt sad that  13 else had even taken a second look.

    I hope that my action helped them 14  that they could have made a difference with a little15, and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.
