KIDS MOCK A POOR CLASSMATE FOR HER HANDMADE HALLOWEEN COSTUME — LATER BEG HER FOR MERCY
Madison had asked her dad a few days earlier if she could have a Halloween costume like her friend Anna's. Her father, Ashton, gave her a sad smile and gently shook his head. "We can't swing it right now, sweetheart. But I promise, one day, you'll have the best costume ever."
Then, a couple of days before Halloween, Ashton came home with a simple witch costume. Madison was thrilled. "Thank you, Daddy! Everyone's going to love this witch dress!" she squealed, hugging him tight. Ashton wished he could give her more, but seeing her excitement made him feel content.
But Halloween night didn't go as Madison had imagined. When she proudly joined the other kids, Anna turned to her and sneered, "You can't come with us! I'm the only witch in our group, and honestly, that costume? Yuck!" The other kids laughed, pointing at her. Embarrassed and heartbroken, Madison was left standing alone as the group took off.
She thought about going back to her dad and asking him to take her out... But he'd been so happy to get her that costume, and she didn't want him to know the other kids didn't like it. So, she decided to go trick-or-treating on her own.
She knocked on each door, and kind neighbors filled her bag with candy and warm smiles. For a moment, she began to feel a little better. But just as her spirits were lifting, she crossed paths with the other kids again.👇
