There once was a boy in forth grade named Caesar. Caesar was picked on everyday by the two same kids at school; Jonathon, and Joseph. 

The two children would constantly call him names and make fun of him for everything he did, whether that be getting an answer wrong, or wearing the, "wrong" clothes to school.

One day, Caesar complained about his problem to his friend, Lisa.

"I can't take it anymore, those guys are really getting to me," he said as they both sat in their classroom before class started.

"Just ignore them," Lisa responded "That's what I do." Caesar frowned.

"How am I supposed to ignore them if their words hurt so much?" Caesar cried.

Lisa, responded with what seemed like an impossible answer, "Just don't care what they say."

Caesar, shocked by how someone could not care about  what someone said about them. He asked, "How do I not care what others say about me?"

Lisa was stumped, and thus told him to go to their other super smart friend, Dio during recess and ask him.

Now at recess with kids playing all around, Caesar saw Dio at the swing set, but would have to pass his bullies near the slide first.

So, with the sneakiness of a cat, he slinked by without being noticed. And after catching his breath he ran over to his friend.

Caesar explained his problem to his friend and asked, "How do I not care what others say about me?"

After this he could see Dio's brain racking as he thought deeply about the question. 

"How do I not care what others say about me?" he repeated, "I do not think that is the correct question. I believe a better question would be why should you care about what others say about you.

Caesar wasn't satisfied, as Dio had mearly answered a question with another question.

He pushed on. "So then, why should I care about what others say about me?" 

Dio was stumped which surprised Caesar.

"Ask your mom," Dio said, "that's what I always do when I have questions I don't know the answer to.
