"The Good Book"The little girl was teased and taunted every day at school.With hand-me-downs and worn out shoes she felt like such a fool.She couldn't understand the reason she should be the one,The other children picked upon and laughed at just for fun.She told her mother how the children treated her at school.Her mother fel...
