Then a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the worst student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl. ①She didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I understood why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and led her into the classroom.

Everyone deserves respect and everyone can be happy.
