Jessica's Really Confused

I had to make story about a moral for English Class...

It was Jessica’s first day at school. When Jessica walked into the classroom she saw all kinds of kids. When she walked up to a fat kid, she thought he must be fat because he doesn’t share, he’s a hog. When she walked up to a kid reading a book, she thought, she must be smart, because she’s reading that book. When she walked up to a kid wearing glasses, she thought, he must be a nerd; all people who wear glasses are nerds. When she walked up to a kid that was pretty, she thought, that girl must be popular, because she is really pretty. When the bell rang everyone had to sit in a circle and introduce themselves.

“My name is Dylan, and I like to share” said the fat kid. Jessica was confused; she thought fat people didn’t like to share.

“My names Melissa, and I like to run” said the girl that was reading the book. Jessica was confused; she thought people that read books were book worms.

“My name is Tommy, and I like to ride my bike, all day long” said the boy with the glasses. Jessica was confused; she thought people that wore glasses were nerds.

“My name is Angela, I hope I can make some friends” said the pretty girl. Jessica was confused; she thought all pretty girls are popular.

“My name is Jessica. I am really confused right now” said Jessica.

Moral: Don’t judge a book (or person) by the (their) cover (looks)
