Just head over the kid short Stories dot Com. Send us to your idea and maybe we'll turn it into an awesome adventure. And you know what time it is, It's time for kid shout on. So I want to say hi to Aila, Lena and Clio from Ohio, Juliette from Pennsylvania, Harper from Texas, Caleb from Georgia, Grace and Keenan from Canada, Cam from Florida, Casper and Maddie from Townsville, Australia, Flynn from Shanghai, China, Brights from New York City, Dean and Jack from Aruba. I'm so glad that you're all on the spike A team and a part of the Kid Short Stories family. We could not stop Doctors Stinky Breath without you. Are you guys ready for today's adventure? Me too? Let's go alright, class, that bell means it's time for lunch. Let's get all of our things and start walking. Poppy grabbed her lunch bag and off the class was to the cafeteria. She was so hungry. As soon as she sat down, she opened up her lunch box and started to gobble it all up. Oh, this is so good. Poppy said. She loved eating lunch with her friends at school, and they were having a lot of fun talking and telling stories from Poppy's birthday party because Poppy just had a birthday and they were all so excited to have spent that special day together. Hey, Poppy, do you see that kid over there? Poppy turned around and looked. There was this guy that the school kind of named him the Bully Bandit. He was sitting over by himself on an empty table, and no one really liked to sit with him because he was pretty mean on the playground, like he was always the first kid to like push other people down and just be really mean. And they were asking Poppy if she'd ever talked to the Bully Bandit before, and Poppy said, no, I've I've never talked to him before because I'm kind of afraid of him. Well, they finished their lunch and then it was time for recess. It was time to go play outside. And you know what that means, well, probably the Bully Bandit was gonna do something mean again, and so Poppy had an idea. She was going to call Able and Teddy, her brothers, to commeet her at school at the playground to help and see if they could find a way to help the bully Bandit not be so mean anymore. And one by one, kids started to cry because the bully Bandit was knocking them all her. One kid got pushed right off the swing. Another kid he pushed down the slide and he she landed on her head. So Poppy was acting kind of like the school nurse, running around from kid to kid, helping them to stop crying and helping them feel better. It was going to take a few more minutes until Able and Teddy were gonna be able to get to school, and Poppy still had a lot of work to do to help all these kids stop crying because there's a lot of them. Because she thought, oh, okay, I think for now, at least, the best way for me to help is probably just helping the kids that get hurt, because who am I to go talk to the bully banded. No one talks to him. And then when Able and Teddy got there, they said, all right, Poppy, what's the plan. Well, I'm not sure because no one ever talks to the Bully Bandit, and I'm not really sure what to do with bullies like that. And able a really good idea. What if we just try and go talk to him, you know, maybe he doesn't have a friend that That sounds like a really crazy idea, said Teddy. I don't know. The Bully Bandit is like world famous for always pushing people over and hitting them. I don't want to get pushed today. But Poppy was the first one over there. She walked over to the bully and just asked, hey, Bully Bandit, like, why are you always so mean to these kids? Why are you always pushing them over? And the Bully Bandit said, well, when I was little, that's what people always did to me. I was always the littlest kid out there, and people knocked me down. And so I gotta show him that I'm not little and I'm strong enough, and so people better stay out of my way, said the Bully Bandit. Do you guys know any kids that are kind of mean like the Bully Bandit? Yeah, me too. Well, I think Poppy is headed in the right direction, as she said, Oh, well, I'm really sorry that happened to you when you were so little, But it doesn't sound like you deserved it at all. That's so terrible. And the Bully Bandit shook his head and like he was agreeing with her. That was the first time I think he'd ever agreed with another kid on the playground before. So, Bully Bandit, I mean, well, I know that's what we always call you, but what's what's your real name? The Bully Bandit? His face changed, you see, before his face was always really scrunched up, like his eyebrows were furrowed down, and he always looked really angry. But when she asked him what his real name was, his eyebrows relaxed and his face looked a lot happier. Oh um, yeah, everyone calls me that, but my real name is actually just Billy. I think people thought it was a good nickname for a kid named Billy, to name him the Bully Bandit, but I don't like it. Oh well, my name's Poppy. It's really nice to meet you, Billy. And why don't you come over and play with me and my brothers. We're about to play, uh some soccer, so why don't you grab that soccer ball over there and come join us. And that was the day where everything changed. You see, Poppy Able and Teddy they were the first ones, I think in Billy's whole life that reached out to him and we're kind to him even when he didn't deserve it. Doesn't that feel good if if you are given something that you don't deserve. Yes, And that's exactly what they did for Billy. He was being mean and so it would be easy you to think, oh, we should be mean back to him, right, Well, that is not with Poppy Able and Teddy decided to do. They chose to be really kind to him and to show kindness even though we didn't deserve it, and that actually helped Billy be kind and to learn how to be kind again, because I think he used to be a nice kid before he got bullied. And that's usually what happens when when one person gets bullied, they turned into a bully one day too. And then Poppy had a really good idea, Wow, you're a really good soccer player, Billy. You know one other thing that we do that is super fun? What's that said, Billy? We're a part of a spoke at h Q team. Have you ever heard of the spoke at HQ and Billy said, yeah, of course, I've heard of it, but no one's ever like invited me in before Able and Teddy looked at each other and Teddy said, Billy, I think you should join the team. We totally need someone like you. You're really fast and smart and strong and brave. All of those things are really important on the Spy Kid HQ team. WHOA that would be so great? Thank you, Teddy. And that is the day that Poppy Able and Teddy not only did they make a really great friend, but they also found a new member to the Spy Kid HQ team. The end, Isn't that such a great story. I love stories that show kindness to people that even if they don't deserve it, and you're still showing kindness to them. So I want you this week to look out for someone, maybe someone in your family like your sister or brother, or maybe someone at school. And I want you to find someone that you feel they might not be deserving of kindness because they're being kind of mean, and I want you to be super kind to them. And I think it's going to make their day very special. Alright, my friends, thank you, Poppy Able and t Any for the awesome idea. This was a great story. You say the day and all of you.
