Willie wants to fit in with the most popular boys at school, but Max and Lucas enjoy teasing others. After they trip up Gary and insult Candy, they plan a cruel “pet day” prank—letting Carmen’s mouse out to be chased by a cat—and pressure Willie to help. Willie prays, thinks about how he’d feel if it were his dog Coco, and quietly says “no,” even though it costs him their friendship. In Sabbath School he adds a “Jesus footprint,” thankful for courage to do what’s right. A real-life story about peer pressure, kindness, and the strength God gives to choose good friends. 

Talk about it:

• Why did Willie want to be friends with Max and Lucas, and what did he notice about how they treated others?
• What helped Willie say “no” when he felt pressured?
• How can you tell the difference between a real friend and a hurtful friend?
• What’s one kind choice you can make for someone at school this week?
