Together

The class of 5A used to bully the class of 4A, even though the number of students in class 5A were lesser than the number of students in 4A. They were seniors and possessed greater strength, every individual though. I can do nothing about it. Anyways, they don't bully me every day. Let others fend for themselves. One day, John was doing his art homework. He had to cut 20 stars. He took twenty sheets and put them together and tried to cut. It was impossible to drive the sharp blade through the paper. But when he took a single sheet and cut it, it was easily cut into a star. John understood the meaning behind that. He rose up from his seat and addressed his classmates, "My classmates. If you try to cut 20 sheets together, you will hardly be successful. But if you cut one sheet at a time, it will easily be cut. That is what we need to do, friends. Let us be together and fend for each other. No one will be then able to bully us."

A boy rose up from his hand and hugged him. Seeing this, more people joined him and at last, the most stubborn, Minta also rose up and hugged them all. The next day, when the bunch of boys of 5A came to bully John, everyone rose from their seats. They all surrounded the class of 5A. Looking at the gravity of the situation and the newly formed union, the boys fled, not to bully anyone again.
