00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:05.880
You gotta be brave. B-R-B-B-B. That's what you
gotta be.

00:00:06.020 --> 00:00:10.980
Say it's a part of me. You gotta be brave.
B-R-B-B-B.

00:00:11.260 --> 00:00:17.220
Sunday night, Howard B. Wigglebottom could not
fall asleep. He was very scared.

00:00:17.740 --> 00:00:20.440
He could hear a little voice in his head.

00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:26.220
Be brave. Be bold. A teacher must be told.

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:33.380
He knew that tomorrow morning, he would once
again come face to face with the scary

00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:38.780
Fist punching. Name calling. Worm-whipping.
Tongue wagging.

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:42.060
Foot-stuffing. Snorting twins.

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.940
The Snorting twins were, you guessed it, push
you down, steal your lunch,

00:00:50.950 --> 00:00:55.770
make you eat worms. The worst kind of bullies.
That is,

00:00:55.770 --> 00:00:58.910
when no teacher was looking, of course.

00:01:00.020 --> 00:01:06.260
The Snortings felt big and important when they
made others feel small and scared.

00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:11.520
Howard was tired of feeling small and afraid
all the time.

00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:16.890
The little voice in his head said again, Be
brave.

00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:23.320
Be bold. A teacher must be told. Howard didn't
tell anyone.

00:01:23.720 --> 00:01:28.880
He was too afraid of being called a tattletale
or a snitch. Even worse,

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:32.630
he was scared about what the Snorting twins
might do to him.

00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:37.800
Be brave. Be bold. A teacher must be told.

00:01:38.820 --> 00:01:44.420
On Monday, Howard thought, I will wear my
cloak that makes me invisible.

00:01:45.080 --> 00:01:49.680
When I walk right past them, they will never
see me. I'll be okay.

00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:56.500
I'll be safe. But on Monday, the Snorting
twins bullied him and ate his lunch.

00:01:57.740 --> 00:02:01.970
Be brave. Be bold. A teacher must be told.

00:02:02.940 --> 00:02:07.590
On Tuesday, Howard thought, I will wear my
special shoes.

00:02:08.180 --> 00:02:14.200
I will run like the wind high above the trees.
The Snortings will never catch me.

00:02:14.740 --> 00:02:16.980
I'll be okay. I'll be safe.

00:02:17.900 --> 00:02:23.340
But on Tuesday, it was not very windy. The
Snorting twins bullied him,

00:02:23.580 --> 00:02:26.390
ate his lunch, and took his shoes.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.790
Be brave. Be bold. A teacher must be told.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:37.160
On Wednesday, Howard thought, I will wear my
jacket

00:02:38.460 --> 00:02:40.800
and be Howard.

00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:47.720
The Halei. The Halei. I'll be okay. I'll be
safe.

00:02:48.460 --> 00:02:52.920
But on Wednesday, the Snorting twins bullied
him, ate his lunch,

00:02:53.220 --> 00:02:54.460
and took his jacket.

00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:59.640
Be brave. Be bold. A teacher must be told.

00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:06.830
On Thursday, Howard thought, I will wear my
funny hat and be Howard.

00:03:07.600 --> 00:03:13.720
The Hilarious. Mr. Funny Bunny. I will use my
quick wit and make

00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:14.450
them like me.

00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:21.610
I'll be okay. I'll be safe. But on Thursday,
the Snorting twins didn't

00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:26.240
think he was all that funny or smart. They
bullied him, ate his lunch,

00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:27.700
and took his hat.

00:03:28.660 --> 00:03:33.170
By Friday, Howard was hungry, tired, and out
of ideas.

00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:38.600
He decided he would give the twins whatever
they wanted and just try not to get hurt.

00:03:39.380 --> 00:03:43.740
On the way to school, Howard overheard the
twins arguing and fighting.

00:03:44.660 --> 00:03:49.440
Give me the shoes and the jacket. You said I
could wear them.

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:55.950
shouted Norton Snorton. No, I didn't. Here,
take the hat, you stubby-legged short boy.

00:03:56.480 --> 00:04:01.660
yelled his sister. I'm not short. Norton
Snorton yelled back,

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.070
standing on his tiptoes. Yes, you are. She
yelled back, puffing out her chest,

00:04:07.490 --> 00:04:09.670
hands on hips, looking down at her brother.

00:04:10.720 --> 00:04:16.780
The Snorton twins puffed and puffed their
chest so huge that they floated up

00:04:16.900 --> 00:04:18.380
in the sky like balloons.

00:04:19.340 --> 00:04:23.910
Howard watched in amazement a little bit of a
little bit as the two drifted away. He could barely hear

00:04:23.910 --> 00:04:27.670
them calling each other names as he skipped
all the way to school.

00:04:29.160 --> 00:04:33.260
Okay, okay. Howard's imagination did get the
best of him.

00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:40.250
On Friday, what really happened was the
Snorton twins beat each other up and they didn't notice Howard

00:04:40.250 --> 00:04:40.740
at all.

00:04:41.640 --> 00:04:47.680
By the time he got to school, Howard knew what
he had to do for his sake and for the Snortons.

00:04:48.260 --> 00:04:53.200
The voice in his head had been right all
along. Be brave.

00:04:53.520 --> 00:04:56.930
be bold. My teacher must be told.

00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:03.380
And so Howard told his teacher who told the
principal who told Mr.

00:05:03.380 --> 00:05:08.690
and Mrs. Snorton. On Friday night, while the
Snortons were in big,

00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.860
big, big trouble and learning an important
lesson, Howard snuggled into bed and

00:05:14.940 --> 00:05:20.990
whispered softly to himself. I was brave and
bold when my teacher

00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:26.130
was finally told, I am okay. I am safe.

00:05:26.640 --> 00:05:30.940
Then he drifted off into a deep, peaceful
sleep.

00:05:31.220 --> 00:05:36.500
You gotta be brave. B-R-A-V-E-T That's what
you gotta be.

00:05:36.780 --> 00:05:42.790
You gotta

00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:48.320
be brave.

00:05:48.510 --> 00:05:54.160
B-R-A-V-E-T That's what you gotta be. Say it's
a part of me.

00:05:54.400 --> 00:05:59.700
You gotta be brave. B-R-A-V-E-T That's what
you gotta be.

00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:04.740
Say it's a part of me. You gotta be brave.
Gotta be bold. Do the right thing.

00:06:04.910 --> 00:06:09.450
Let a teacher be told. Do the right thing.
Yeah, this is so. Mr. Wigble Bottom Now he knows.

00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:13.900
Gotta be brave. Gotta be bold. Do the right
thing. Let a teacher be told. Do the right thing.

00:06:14.150 --> 00:06:20.220
Yeah, this is so. Mr. Wigble Bottom Now he
knows. Mr. Wigble Bottom Now he's brave. B-R-A-V-E-T

00:06:20.500 --> 00:06:25.240
That's what you gotta be. Say it's a part of
me. You gotta be brave.

00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:29.440
B-R-A-V-E-T That's what you gotta be.

00:06:29.690 --> 00:06:33.720
Say it's a part of me. You gotta be brave.
What should I do? What should I say?

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:38.010
Should I say anything? Or should I pay? A
little voice on my hand saying it's okay. Go ahead and tell

00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.860
your teacher You can be brave the next day. I
waited after class When everybody left And the teacher

00:06:42.860 --> 00:06:47.000
asked What's the matter son? Why you look so
sad? I said the bully in the back's been Treat me bad.

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.460
I said all the bad things that the bully did
Then the bully finally stopped When I told the teacher all

00:06:51.640 --> 00:06:57.950
the things he did Then the teacher called his
pie. You gotta be brave. B-R-A-V-E-T That's what

00:06:57.970 --> 00:07:02.200
you gotta be. Say it's a part of me. You gotta
be brave.

B-R-A-V-E-T That's what you gotta be. Say it's
a part of me.

00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:12.800
You gotta be brave. You can do it. You're
brave. Yes, you really are.

00:07:13.080 --> 00:07:17.160
Don't be afraid to say what's in your mind.
What's in your heart. You can do it.

00:07:17.370 --> 00:07:22.160
You're brave. Yes, you really are. Don't be
afraid to say what's in your heart.

00:07:22.320 --> 00:07:27.160
You gotta be brave. You gotta be bold. Do the
right thing. Let a teacher be told. It's the right thing.

00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:32.520
Yeah, this is so. Mr. Wobble bottom. Now he

Say it's a part of me. You gotta be brave.

00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:16.280
Would you like to help Howard learn about
bullies?

00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:17.960
Yeah!

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:22.880
Which picture shows Howard being bullied?

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.110
This one?

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:30.040
Yeah! Yeah!

00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.390
You got it!

00:08:35.490 --> 00:08:41.360
If another kid scares you, hurts you, calls
you bad names, and says bad things about you,

00:08:41.640 --> 00:08:47.300
makes you do things you don't want to, breaks
or steals your things, you are being bullied.

00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:52.800
Bullying is wrong. Don't become a bully
yourself. Which picture shows Howard?

00:08:52.990 --> 00:08:58.840
Which picture shows Howard joking around with
bullies? This one?

00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.880
No!

00:09:03.520 --> 00:09:04.470
Or that one?

00:09:05.640 --> 00:09:08.720
Yes! Yes! You got it! Yes! You got it!

00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:15.730
Joking around will not stop bullies.

00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:19.620
What picture shows Howard having words with
the bullies?

00:09:22.040 --> 00:09:28.030
This one? This one? No! No! Or this one?

00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.950
Yes! You got it! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
You got it!

00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.040
Trying to have words, joke around, ignore, or
avoid will not stop bullying.

00:09:42.040 --> 00:09:44.320
Trying to have words, joke around, ignore, or
avoid will not stop bullying. What picture shows Howard

00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.630
doing the right thing about bull ies?

00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:52.400
Is it this one?

00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:55.070
Yes! Yes!

00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:57.330
You got it!

00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:06.360
Your teacher can decide the best way to stop
bullies. If you are being bullied,

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:12.060
don't forget, you are not alone and it's not
your fault. Bullies are kids with problems and they need

00:10:12.060 --> 00:10:16.150
treatment. When you tell on them, you are
helping everyone.

00:10:16.520 --> 00:10:18.550
Hooray! Yeah!

00:10:34.640 --> 00:10:47.980
Thank

00:10:47.980 --> 00:11:04.340
you.

00:11:04.640 --> 00:11:17.980
Thank

00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:34.340
you.
