Reading Comprehension Passage
The Brave and the Bullies
Tom will go to school tomorrow. He will not be scared of teachers or crowds anymore. His mother will buy him a nice school bag today, and his sister will bring some notebooks and pens for him. I shall give him some good tips to make friends with co-students. We shall inform the principal and the other teachers beforehand about the previous dreadful experiences of Tom at his former school.
Slowly, he will learn to tackle the bullies. He will no more crouch in a corner at the name of school, and there will be a glow of joy on his cheeks after he successfully completes one or two months surrounded by good friends and encouraging teachers. One day he will become a normal student, and after growing up, he will help other such students who are phobic of bullies. He’ll tell them the difference between the brave and the bully.
