Malek was the toughest kid in the fourth grade. He would push smaller kids, steal their snacks, and even make them do his homework. All the other students were scared of him, and the teachers couldn't seem to control his bad behavior.
One day, the class was going on a field trip to the local zoo. Malek was excited to see the animals, but he couldn't wait to cause some trouble. As soon as they arrived, he started bullying the other kids, taking their toys and pushing them away from the animal enclosures.
However, something unexpected happened when Malek approached the elephant exhibit. As he peered into the large, gentle creature's eyes, he suddenly felt a wave of guilt and shame wash over him. For the first time in his life, Malek realized how his actions had been hurting others.
From that day on, Malek made a complete transformation. He apologized to all the kids he had bullied and promised to be kind and helpful from then on. The other students were amazed by the change in Malek, and they welcomed him into their group with open arms. Malek realized that being a bully had only made him lonely, and he was much happier being a good friend to everyone.
