Poppy grabbed her lunch bag and off the 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: class was to the cafeteria. She was so hungry. As 20 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: soon as she sat down, she opened up her lunch 21 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: box and started to gobble it all up. Oh, this 22 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: is so good. Poppy said. She loved eating lunch with 23 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 1: her friends at school, and they were having a lot 24 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: of fun talking and telling stories from Poppy's birthday party 25 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: because Poppy just had a birthday and they were all 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: so excited to have spent that special day together. Hey, Poppy, 27 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: do you see that kid over there? Poppy turned around 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: and looked. There was this guy that the school kind 29 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: of named him the Bully Bandit. He was sitting over 30 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 1: by himself on an empty table, and no one really 31 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: liked to sit with him because he was pretty mean 32 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: on the playground, like he was always the first kid 33 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: to like push other people down and just be really mean. 34 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: And they were asking Poppy if she'd ever talked to 35 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: the Bully Bandit before, and Poppy said, no, I've I've 36 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: never talked to him before because I'm kind of afraid 37 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: of him. Well, they finished their lunch and then it 38 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: was time for recess. It was time to go play outside. 39 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: And you know what that means, well, probably the Bully 40 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: Bandit was gonna do something mean again, and so Poppy 41 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: had an idea. She was going to call Able and Teddy, 42 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: her brothers, to commeet her at school at the playground 43 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: to help and see if they could find a way 44 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: to help the bully Bandit not be so mean anymore. 45 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: And one by one, kids started to cry because the 46 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: bully Bandit was knocking them all her. One kid got 47 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 1: pushed right off the swing. Another kid he pushed down 48 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: the slide and he she landed on her head. So 49 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: Poppy was acting kind of like the school nurse, running 50 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: around from kid to kid, helping them to stop crying 51 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: and helping them feel better. It was going to take 52 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 1: a few more minutes until Able and Teddy were gonna 53 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: be able to get to school, and Poppy still had 54 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do to help all these 55 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: kids stop crying because there's a lot of them. Because 56 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: she thought, oh, okay, I think for now, at least, 57 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: the best way for me to help is probably just 58 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: helping the kids that get hurt, because who am I 59 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: to go talk to the bully banded. No one talks 60 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: to him. And then when Able and Teddy got there, 61 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: they said, all right, Poppy, what's the plan. Well, I'm 62 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: not sure because no one ever talks to the Bully Bandit, 63 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: and I'm not really sure what to do with bullies 64 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: like that. And able a really good idea. What if 65 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: we just try and go talk to him, you know, 66 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't have a friend that That sounds like 67 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: a really crazy idea, said Teddy. I don't know. The 68 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Bully Bandit is like world famous for always pushing people 69 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: over and hitting them. I don't want to get pushed today. 70 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: But Poppy was the first one over there. She walked 71 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: over to the bully and just asked, hey, Bully Bandit, like, 72 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: why are you always so mean to these kids? Why 73 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: are you always pushing them over? And the Bully Bandit said, well, 74 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: when I was little, that's what people always did to me. 75 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: I was always the littlest kid out there, and people 76 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: knocked me down. And so I gotta show him that 77 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm not little and I'm strong enough, and so people 78 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: better stay out of my way, said the Bully Bandit. 79 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: Do you guys know any kids that are kind of 80 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: mean like the Bully Bandit? Yeah, me too. Well, I 81 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: think Poppy is headed in the right direction, as she said, Oh, well, 82 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm really sorry that happened to you when you were 83 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: so little, But it doesn't sound like you deserved it 84 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: at all. That's so terrible. And the Bully Bandit shook 85 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: his head and like he was agreeing with her. That 86 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: was the first time I think he'd ever agreed with 87 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: another kid on the playground before. So, Bully Bandit, I mean, well, 88 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: I know that's what we always call you, but what's 89 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 1: what's your real name? The Bully Bandit? His face changed, 90 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: you see, before his face was always really scrunched up, 91 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: like his eyebrows were furrowed down, and he always looked 92 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: really angry. But when she asked him what his real 93 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: name was, his eyebrows relaxed and his face looked a 94 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: lot happier. Oh um, yeah, everyone calls me that, but 95 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: my real name is actually just Billy. I think people 96 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: thought it was a good nickname for a kid named Billy, 97 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: to name him the Bully Bandit, but I don't like it. 98 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: Oh well, my name's Poppy. It's really nice to meet you, Billy. 99 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: And why don't you come over and play with me 100 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: and my brothers. We're about to play, uh some soccer, 101 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: so why don't you grab that soccer ball over there 102 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: and come join us. And that was the day where 103 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: everything changed. You see, Poppy Able and Teddy they were 104 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: the first ones, I think in Billy's whole life that 105 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: reached out to him and we're kind to him even 106 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: when he didn't deserve it. Doesn't that feel good if 107 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,239 Speaker 1: if you are given something that you don't deserve. Yes, 108 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what they did for Billy. He was 109 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: being mean and so it would be easy you to think, oh, 110 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: we should be mean back to him, right, Well, that 111 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 1: is not with Poppy Able and Teddy decided to do. 112 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: They chose to be really kind to him and to 113 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: show kindness even though we didn't deserve it, and that 114 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: actually helped Billy be kind and to learn how to 115 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: be kind again, because I think he used to be 116 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: a nice kid before he got bullied. And that's usually 117 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: what happens when when one person gets bullied, they turned 118 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: into a bully one day too. And then Poppy had 119 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: a really good idea, Wow, you're a really good soccer player, Billy. 120 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: You know one other thing that we do that is 121 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: super fun? What's that said, Billy? We're a part of 122 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: a spoke at h Q team. Have you ever heard 123 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: of the spoke at HQ and Billy said, yeah, of course, 124 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: I've heard of it, but no one's ever like invited 125 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: me in before Able and Teddy looked at each other 126 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: and Teddy said, Billy, I think you should join the team. 127 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: We totally need someone like you.

Thank you, Teddy. And that is 131 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: the day that Poppy Able and Teddy not only did 132 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: they make a really great friend, but they also found 133 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: a new member to the Spy Kid HQ team. The end, 134 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: Isn't that such a great story. I love stories that 135 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: show kindness to people that even if they don't deserve it, 136 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 1: and you're still showing kindness to them.
