Bill's Bike Ride

Mary Loraine Schmidt

Bill was eleven. He liked helping out at home. Saturday mornings he often would take his bicycle out and take letters to the mail. One Saturday morning his father gave him a small package to be weighed at the post office.

Before getting to the post office Bill had to pass the school yard. As Bill approached it, he noticed a group of teenagers on bikes in a huddle. When Bill came nearer, two of the older boys pointed at him and giggled.

He could just hear one of them say: "We'll give him a 'fast ride' as soon as he gets past our territory."
