A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily was handy with these kinds of stuff as she used to make toys with straws for her daughter. She made small bright dragonflies and grasshoppers out of leaves. Not too long, the children in the village were attracted by her crafts.

"Look at this small dragonfly! It's so cute! Does this fly?

"You are so good, Miss Beauty! Can I have one?"

"Miss Beauty! Miss Beauty! You don't have to be with this idiot. Would you marry my brother? We have lots of fields and bulls. You don't have to work anymore."

Although Donny didn't understand what the word 'poaching' exactly meant, he had a strong feeling about what was happening. He knew the brother of the little kid talking to Emily. His name was Ben and he was tall and strong, and a lot of girls liked him.

"Hey, back off! Your brother can't have her. Miss Beauty is mine! None of you can take her away from me!" Donny yelled. Donny would never get angry at anything even if he got insulted or hurt, but this time he was furious. It was the first time the kids saw him like this, and he looked like his mother when he was angry – scary and frightening.

The kids who insulted him backed off out of fear. Since there were also adults, they could not throw stones at Donny. So, they just spat at him instead. "You're an idiot! Yeah, that's right! You idiot!"

"An idiot like you doesn't deserve a pretty wife like her!"

"I'll tell you this today! When I grow up, I will take your beautiful wife!" a kid named Bob said.

"I won't let you!" Donny was so furious that his face turned red. He yelled, "I'm not an idiot! Buck off, all of you!"

"Stop it all of you!" Emily shouted. She could not stand seeing Donny being bullied by the children. She rebuked, "Did you know what you just said? Did you know it's bad to hurt other people's feeling? You apologize to Donny, right now!"

She held Donny's hand and his rage disappeared.

The kids looked at each other and shrugged, "Why should we? We're just telling the truth!"

"Don't you know you hurt Donny's feelings? That's not telling the truth. That's insulting others!" Emily calmly said.

"Do you think you can teach us a lesson with your pretty face?"
