Rd the Reading Dragon

Why do you waste your time? They asked R.D. He had no reply. He loved reading but he was not supposed to, being a guy. You could come out and play ball, maybe make a home run. To R.D. this did not sound like any kind of exciting fun. He loved visiting the library. He had his own check out card too. He like reading fiction books of heroes like Timmy Tom Two. He did not like the outdoors. The flowers made him cough and sneeze. “You are not one of us,” His less kind friends would tease.

Hmmm...I'm afraid they also bullied him when they got the opportunity. That can happen to a kid who prefers reading to baseball!
