THE KIDNAPPER

Daniel was walking home from school one day when he heard the loud yelps of a dog. On rounding the corner, he found a group of boys throwing stones and sticks at a small light brown Boxer.

What is it to you? Shove off! A tall boy standing in the front yelled back. It was Kurt. He was a bully who picked on the smaller kids at school. Nobody dared to stand up to him because he towered over them.

Suddenly, he had an idea. He opened his bag and retrieved his lunch box. He took out a biscuit that was left over from lunch and extended his arm, to offer it to the dog.

The dog eyed it greedily but did not come near.

Daniel put the biscuit down near him on the stony pavement and stepped back. The dog looked warily at Daniel with clear brown eyes.

Daniel waited patiently while the dog sniffed at the biscuit. Its tongue lolled out but, still, it did
