In the playground, a boy pushed down another child, and kept them pressed down while he rifled through their pockets, taking one thing after another. Then he let them go and said, ‘Every day you have to come bring me more.’
The child was frightened, more so when they saw another child being pushed down by another bully. But when there was a chance, this first child spoke to the other, saying, ‘We could get free from them, together.’
‘Yes,’ said the second. ‘But what will we do if we win? I don’t want to become another bully. What will we do when we win?’
