The Witness

This story is taken from More Brilliant Stories for Assemblies, written by Elizabeth Sach and published by Brilliant Publications.

Finding courage to speak up about something that is morally wrong is something most adults struggle with, let alone primary school children! In this tale, poor Ranpresh is a recurring victim of “The Gang” of bullies at his school and he is too afraid of the repercussions of telling the truth about his repeated injuries/sickness.

When his classmate Hannah notices what is going on, she too is conflicted, however she is so fuelled by her anger towards the unjust situation that she marches to the Headteacher and reports the bullies before the problem can get any worse.
