About a week ago, my 4yearold cousin and I were playing basketball at our local park. The__31__was warm, and many other children were outside__32__. As we played, I noticed a small group of boys__33__a smaller, skinnier, and possibly younger boy. They were calling him names and__34__pushed him to the ground and__35__dirt in his face. When I saw that, I grabbed my__36__by the hand and walked over to the__37__.

He offered to let him play with them,__45__the boy quietly said “thank you” and refused, and then left there.
As I looked around, I__46__that there were dozens of other people at the park—some of them were__47__with children of their own—but no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt__48__that the one of the boys was brave enough to stand up against his friends to help someone__49__, but I felt sad that no one else had even taken a second__50__. I couldn't help but think that those parents at the park would want someone to help their child in that situation, and yet they did nothing but stood by.
