Today the weather was so good that I decided

to walk home from school. I noticed that
there were some kids in a circle laughing
really loudly and screaming at someone else
in the middle of the circle, so I got closer to
check it out. An old lady was lying on the
floor and she was hurt! Instead of helping
her, they made fun of her. I quickly found my
way through all those children and helped
her stand up. I really don’t understand how
they could just look at her and laugh… I’m
happy that she is feeling better now and I
hope she never falls to the ground again.
