Barney Bookhousen is a Bully Charlotte Hale

I wish Barney Bookhousen

Would just disappear.

If he would go away,

Oh, how my friends and I would cheer!


Barney Bookhousen is a bully whose only talent, or so it seems, is making everyone miserable. Will a bit of curiosity on the part of a classmate confirm Barney's reputation? Should we just accept "once a bully, always a bully"? This story teaches that amazing things can happen when we find and focus on something good in people.
