A new girl came to the school. But everyone did not like her. Because she was so bully. For example, she scribbled on Chip's picture, put in crips in her bag, pulled Anneena's hair and so on. So they did not like her. But finally, her face made strange. The magic turned Rosie into a motor mouth, a dinosaur and a parrot face. Of course, she began to cry. And she apologized for them. And they get along with each other now.

But I hadn't no friends look like her. But finally, she could understand their feelings. So I felt relieved. And I want them to get along with together!
