I read Kung fu kid. It is a story about  the kung fu class. Adib is at the kung fu class. It is the first day. Adib talks with Ray. There are many students. They are waiting for the teacher. Adib looks at other students, some big boys are fighting some small boys. Ray says the big boys, Mike Henson and Scott Nash, like to hurt smaller boys. Adib says 'Stop!' to Scott. Then, thier teacher comes. The big boys angry with Adib. The teacher says to Adib, 'Do you know kung fu? I want to see your kung fu. Who wants to fight?' Adib choses Mike. Mike is bigger and stronger than Adib. The fight starts. Mike tries to kick Adib, but Adib is too fast. He stops the kick, and Mike falls down. Adib is small, but he is very good at kung fu. Everybody is very surprised. Mike gets up. He is very angry, and he wants to hurt Adib,the teacher says 'Stop! Don't fight!' But Mike doesn't listen. He tries to hit Adib in the face, but Adib is too fast. Adib stops Mike's arm. He pushes Mike in the back, and he falls again. Scott watches Adib. After that, Adib is going to fight with Scott, but scott looks worried, and Scott says 'My leg hurts today.' The teacher says 'Do you want to go home, or fight Adib?' Scott says 'I want to fight.' Some of the students start laughing at Scott because he is worried. Scott cannot hit Adib.  Adib is too good. Scott is sitting on the floor. He doesn't want to fight Adib now. He says 'I can't fight now. I am hurt.' Everybody is surprised. They know he is not hurt. Scott goes out of the room. Everybody laughs at him. The teacher says ' You are a good student, and a good teacher, too.' (366/11392 words)
