Jori's Bad Dream by Sierra (age 8)
|  |
"Ahhh!" Jori woke up screaming. Jori ran into her Mom's and Dad's room as fast as she could.
"Mommy, Daddy, I had a bad dream. I dreamed that I was riding my bike when these two bullies came and pushed me down and the next thing I know, I'm laying in the hospital with a broken leg," Jori said, out of breath.
"Try to calm down Jori, it is going to be all right. Now try to go back to sleep and think about good things," said Mom and Dad.
Jori did as her Mom and Dad said, but she couldn't stop thinking about those two boys she had seen in her dream. She could have sworn they had familiar faces. The next day Jori got her school stuff ready and headed for the bus stop. But she couldn't stop thinking of those boys. During school Jori finally stopped thinking of those bullies she saw in her dream. "Ring!" The bell rang. School was out for the day. Jori was waiting for the bus when she saw those two boys she saw in her dream. When Jori got home she asked her Dad if she could call her friend Nicole.
"OK," said her father. Jori picked up the phone and started to dial. "Hi! This is Nicole speaking. Oh Hi Jori!" said Nicole. Jori asked Nicole if she knew the boys at the bus stop. "Oh that's Bobby and Derek from English class." said Nicole. Jori said thank you and hung up.
The next day Jori did what she did every day, got ready for school and headed for the bus stop. When Jori got to school she saw the two boys named Bobby and Derek in her English class. When Jori got home she told her Mom and Dad everything that she suspected about Bobby and Derek.
Jori's Mom and Dad went to Jori's school and talked to the principal. The principal said that there was a girl riding her bike and got pushed over and got a broken leg, but the police still haven't found the people who did it. The principal said that Jori was picturing it happening. Jori told the principal who she thought it was, so the boys were called down to the office and it turns out that did it. The boys got suspended for a whole month and they had to do 6th grade all over again. The next day everybody was congratulating Jori for what a good job she did and she even got a medal. Jori felt good about herself for a long time. But the bullies weren't too happy.
There is a lesson in this story that every one should know. If you do something bad to someone you are going to have to pay a price. That is why you should always be kind to one another.
