Once upon a time, in a colorful classroom filled with drawings and laughter, there was a kind girl named Aayusha. She liked to read books and draw pictures of the sun shining over mountains. But Aayusha was also very quiet, which made her feel alone sometimes.
There was a boy named bibek who noticed that Aayusha was shy. He thought it was funny to hide her pencils and tease her about her silence. Aayusha felt sad and didn't know what to do.
Every time Uilash made a joke at her expense, Aayusha's heart ached a little more. She tried to ignore him, focusing on her love for drawing and reading.
One day, while Aayusha was drawing a picture of a garden, Uilash came over and scribbled all over her paper. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at her ruined drawing.
Feeling heartbroken, Aayusha ran to the school library, a place where she felt safe among the stories of brave heroes and kind princesses.
While in the library, Aayusha found a book about a little girl who stood up to a bully. This story made Aayusha feel a little spark of hope inside.
The next day, when Uilash tried to take her notebook, Aayusha remembered the brave girl from the book. She took a deep breath and said, 'Please stop. That's not kind.'
Uilash looked surprised. Nobody had ever stood up to him before. He hesitated, then handed her notebook back and walked away quietly.
After that day, Aayusha felt a little braver. She started talking to other kids in the class, and soon she made a new friend who also loved to read.
Aayusha and her new friend would read stories together and talk about being brave and kind. They both agreed that bullying was never a good way to act.
With time, Aayusha noticed Uilash was no longer a bully. He even apologized for his unkind behavior and asked if he could join her and her friend to read sometimes.
Aayusha's classroom became a friendlier place. She learned that standing up for herself was important, and that everyone, even a bully like Uilash, could change with a little understanding.
