There was once a boy named Arthur. He was Kind and loved playing in his room. He was excited as the next day was his first day back at school!
.
The next day, Arthurs first day at school didn't go well at all. there was a new kid named Spencer who was very mean to all the kids. He started to tease Arthur.
When Arthur Got home he was very upset, he rushed over to his toys chest hoping to find his armor hoping he could protect himself with it. When he couldn't find it he started to cry. His mother came in to find him upset as asked: "Whats the matter Arthur!?" Arthur cried out saying "There is a mean boy at school, and so I came looking for my armour so I could protect myself, but now I can't find it!! What will I do mom!?
His mom sat him down, and said to him: "I have some armour you can use, you can't see it, but its stronger than any weapon, or harsh words!" Arthur was confused. She continues and said. "At church I learn about the "Armor of God". There is the Belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the sandals of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit!"
.
She continued, "each one protects you from a different kind of attack! All you have to do is remember you have it and use it. No evil can defeat it!" Arthur like the sound of that! That evening the chatted through each piece of armour in detail and he couldn't wait to use it the next day...
.
The Next Day during play time, Spencer came up to Arthur and started teasing him saying horrible things to him! He said: "You are so uncool Arthur! you will never be popular, IN FACT you don't even have any friends!" This made Arthur feel very sad.
Suddenly Arthur Remembered what his mother had taught him about armor, and for the firs time bravely stood up for himself saying. "Thats not true! I am not popular but I do have friends!" Arthurs friends near by we amazed and cheered him on. Spencer was so shocked that Arthur had fought back!
The Next day Arthur was on his way to class when again Spencer came to bully him! He laughed and told Spencer that no body loved him. But Arthur remembered a piece of armour that protected his heart. He said to Spencer: "I know that I'm loved. My family loves me and God loves me." Spencer was upset he could not mess with Arhur's emotions.
.
.
One Day Spencer decided not to bully Arthur, but his friend Ellie. This made him upset, but he remembered that "the shoes of peace" were to help him to continue to help others despite how he felt, and so he went to Ellie and tried to make her smile again.
.
Everyday Spencer tried different ways to upset Authur, But each time Arthur had a weapon in his head keeping him safe. Spencer tried being rude to him, but Arthur had his shield to protect him. Ellie was also now so brave!
Spencer tried to make Arthur Feel like he wasn't special, but even that didn't work. Other kids in Arthurs class were now helping Arthur too, because they saw Arthurs bravery and were no longer afraid of Spencer.
One afternoon after school, Spencers tried one last time to bully Arthur. But this time Arthurs response wasn't what he expected. Arthur said to him: "You know Spencer, the Bible says I must Love my enemies. Im not mad at you for bullying me. Would you like to be friends?"
Spencer was surprised and said: "that would be really nice, I ... I don't really have any friends...."
That year at school everyone had learnt so much. Arthur learnt that he could stand up for himself while being nice. Spencer learnt that it it wasn't ok to tease others, and all the kids discovered that if they came together, they were braver and less afraid of scary things. They all turned out to be really good friends.
