The sun was shining, the wind was blowing, the grass was cold and swaying from side to side.

Jamal was a young grasshopper who grew up in a big field, located in maple ridge.

The sun was shining bright, when Jamal, Joe and their friends decided to go outside. They decided to play tag.

Jamal was 9 years old, he also has an older brother, Joe, who is 4 years older than Jamal.

Jamal was hiding when suddenly out of nowhere Joe started chasing him, but Jamal doesn’t know how to jump and that’s a big problem as a grasshopper in tag because that’s the only way to run away.

“HA HA you don’t know how jump,” shouted Joe!


“I give up,” exclaimed Jamal

thats when new people were starting to move in. Joe went out to meet them, but Jamal on the other hand didn’t want them to know about his disability, so he stayed in his room.

When the parents questioned why Jamal came in side he made an excuse saying he was to tired.

“Why can’t I be like my brother, why can’t I just be normal,” exclaims Jamal!

Jamal finally gets enough courage to go outside and meet them.

”your brother told me you don’t know how to hop, can you show me!” exclaimed Jimmy,

“Oh no,” thought Jamal.

Jamal then made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

That’s when Jamal realized that he’ll have to come out at some point.


” How am I gonna respond to that,” mumbled Jamal
