Lesson 8. The Little
Bully (Enid Blyton)
Short Summary
"The Little Bully" by Enid Blyton is a short story that follows a small boy named Hari who is known for his bullying behaviour. Hari delights in pinching, teasing and tormenting other children, making them feel small and miserable. However, one day, Hari's behaviour catches up with him when he encounters mysterious little crabs and prawns who teach him a lesson about the consequences of his actions. Through a series of magical transformations, Hari experiences firsthand the pain and fear he has inflicted on others. By the end of the story, Hari learns the importance of kindness and empathy, realizing that bullying others only leads to loneliness and regret. "The Little Bully" serves as a cautionary tale about the harmful effects of bullying and the value of treating others with respect and compassion.
