Beschreibung
Frederick Meadows was a quiet, introspective boy who lived in the small town of Brentwood in rural Indiana. He was smaller than the other boys in his class and often felt out of place, especially because of his thick glasses, which he kept on his face with an elastic strap that the other children found amusing. This strap became a source of ridicule, with his classmates often laughing at him and pointing fingers. This bullying made Frederick feel emotionally isolated, and during recess, he would usually sit alone, watching the other children play games like tag, chase each other, and climb the monkey bars from a distance. Despite his teacher's encouragement to join in, Frederick felt too self-conscious and afraid of being made fun of to participate.
At home, things weren't much better. The girls next door, Alice, Betty, and Carol-sisters who were all a year apart-often played in their large yard, near the family barn. Frederick, shy and unsure of himself, usually kept to himself, preferring the solitude of his yard, catching butterflies and avoiding contact with the girls. But one day, Alice, the eldest, noticed Frederick and invited him to play. Although reluctant and nervous, Frederick agreed, hoping for a chance to join in. This simple gesture marked the beginning of a small but significant change for him.
