the dancer

The Dancer At fifteen, he was a dancer with a  slim body and narrow hips, after school he walked to  the dance studio where he was welcome and danced as long as he could other boys bullied him and said he was girlish, but the girls liked him because of him the felt save  On and on he danced, the press wrote  about this talented boy, but the bullying  didn't stop to prove to them he was not a sissy  he, at eighteen, joined the Ukraine army who could use a  boy like him in a forward position keeping an eye on the enemy Bullets fly in the air 98% hit nothing much but a bullet hits him in the neck  His parents received a medal their boy had been a hero.
