It happened one day that the little girl was placed into a class that was there to help kids with their reading.
She thought to herself “they won’t care here either!”
And being very smart she was partly right. The other kids said she wasn’t very friendly, very pretty or very smart along with other not nice things to say about somebody. But what hurt the worst was what the adults called her, names like “difficult”, “stubborn”, “won’t listen”, but the very very worst was “problem child”. They thought she didn’t hear, but she did.
So the little girl did not get any love at home or at school.
Then one day the little girl had a new teacher. Well not a “real” teacher but a “helper” a younger girl who was older than the little girl but younger than the teachers.
The little girl thought to herself, “really!, who is this? This girl won’t last one day, she won’t care at all!”
But the “helper” was different, she didn’t act like the adults at all, she didn’t react to the little girl when the little girl wouldn’t try on her homework or if the little girl “acted dumb”. “This helper person is very patient” thought the little girl. “Maybe she wants to really help me”.
“Well… ” she thought to herself, “we’ll see if she is real or not!”
So the little girl acted not very smart, made herself not very beautiful and not! very friendly.
And tested the new helper every day.
