Jacob is a little boy and has a definite idea of what to wear to school. He wants to wear a dress. One day he wraps a towel about his waist like a skirt but the kids at school laugh and the school bully grabs it away from Jacob. When Jacob asks his mother to help he make a real dress that he can wear to school, she hesitates knowing that he will be teased and bullied. But she decides to let Jacob wear what he likes. And sure enough, when Jacob wears his dress, the bully starts in on him. |
