The Gifted Student

Once upon a time, a fifth-grade student named Eric felt very alone in

his busy classroom. He was very clever, always able to answer all the

teacher's difficult questions quickly. But his friends thought he was a nerd and

made fun of him constantly. He was sensitive and tried to help,

but still felt like no one liked him. One day, his new teacher

Mr. Adam called him for a chat after the class. Adam thought Eric

might be a gifted student with a very bright future ahead.
