Michael saw the trouble coming. There standing in the hallway was Frank, the boy who enjoyed making fun of anyone at any given moment. Frank was tall and strong, so few of his victims stood up to him. Michael hated the idea that Frank always got away with his wrongdoing. Yet like most kids who were picked on, he just took it quietly and waited for the unpleasant to pass.
Frank walked up, his eyes locked on the books in Michael's arms. When they met, Frank stopped unexpectedly, "Hey, let me see those books!" Some students watched as Michael held out the books he was carrying, trying not to give away his nervousness.
Frank took a book, looked inside for a second, and then threw the book at Michael, who dropped all the other books. "Hey, those are school property," Frank barked, "Be careful!" Then he walked away, laughing loudly.
Michael, his cheeks turning red, half kicked the fallen books. Suddenly a hand picked up one book. "You look like you could use a p ally (盟友)," a friendly voice said. It was Ramon, the most athletic boy in the high school. Michael couldn't believe Ramon was stopping to help him as they barely spoke.
"Thanks," Michael sighed with relief. "It's confusing. I don't know what his problems is."
"Well, as I see it," Ramon said, "you need to find a way to end this." Michael nodded, stuck for what to say. Ramon continued, "You know my grandmother used to tell me whenever I had a problem with someone. She'd say, ‘You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar (醋).'"
Looking puzzled, Michael asked, "What does that mean?"
"It means kindness may be more effective than anger," Ramon explained.
"Can you just tell Frank to stop picking on me?" Michael suggested
"That's vinegar," Ramon laughed as he walked away. "Try honey instead."
Ramon's words left Michael thinking.
The next school day brought Michael's usual pain. There stood Frank, and Michael knew it would be just seconds before he had to face him in the middle of the hall. Frank came nearer.
