Danny was just tired about the way things were going. His mom came to the school and went on and on about Rick Jackson. It seemed that she would never stop talking. "Somebody's got to stop that boy!" she was shouting. "Rick's troubling everybody in the neighborhood. And he loves to pick on little boys like Danny. "
Mrs. Green, Danny's teacher, was concerned (担心) a lot."I didn't know that Danny was being picked on," she answered."He's never said anything about this to me!"Mrs. Green looked at Danny."How long has this been going on?" she asked. Danny could only shake his head and look at the floor. He knew if he said a word about this, he would have trouble after school.
Danny hadn't said anything about the problem because he wanted to do things with the boys in the neighborhood. After all, most of them were nice to him. He hated to leave the gang just because of Rick. Maybe the time had come to find new friends. He felt it hard to make up his mind.

Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activities, and has a healthy weight. If you’re fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do, like running around with your friends.
Some steps only parents can take – such as serving healthy meals or deciding to take the family on a nature hike. Here are three rules you can follow, if you’re a kid who wants to be fit.

2. Drink Water & Milk
When you’re really thirsty, you can drink cold water. It’s also enough to drink 2 or 3 cups of milk a day.
3. Listen to Your Body
