Timmy was a bright and energetic third-grader who loved going to school. He had many friends and enjoyed learning new things every day. But recently, things had changed for Timmy. A group of older boys had started bullying him, calling him names and even taking his lunch money.

At first, Timmy tried to ignore the bullies, but it was becoming harder and harder. He felt scared and alone, and he started to dread going to school. He would avoid the bullies as much as he could, but they always seemed to find him, especially during lunchtime.

One day, Timmy's teacher, Mrs. Wilson, noticed that he was acting differently. He was quiet and withdrawn, and he didn't seem to be enjoying his lessons as much as he used to. Mrs. Wilson knew something was wrong and decided to talk to Timmy after class.

"Timmy, is everything okay?" she asked gently. "You seem a little down lately."

Timmy hesitated for a moment, then told Mrs. Wilson about the bullies and how they were taking his lunch money. Mrs. Wilson was shocked and saddened to hear this, and she promised Timmy that she would do everything she could to help.
