The Girl Who Stands Up for Fairness
Page 1
Maya, a bright and kind girl, began her school week with a sunny smile.
She loved to help her classmates, especially those who struggled.
When the teacher announced a new rule, Maya's eyes widened with surprise.
The rule gave older kids extra votes in class elections.
Maya couldn't stand the unfairness waiting to see what would happen.

The next day, Maya gathered her friends and discussed the rule.
They whispered that the rule would hurt the younger children.
Maya decided she would speak at the class meeting.
Her heart beat fast, but her voice was clear and steady.
She asked, "Why should children who are not older get fewer votes?"

The class monitor, who had passed the rule, looked surprised and a little ashamed.
She tried to defend the rule but felt uneasy as Maya answered.
The teacher listened carefully, her eyes softening.
After Maya spoke, the room felt warm, like a sunrise.
The meeting ended with a promise to revisit the rule.

In time, the school changed the rule to give every student one vote.
Maya felt proud and relieved at the change.
She spread the news, encouraging others to speak up if something felt unfair.
Her classmates nodded, thanking her for her courage.
A new tradition of fairness began and grew each week.

She smiled, ready to face new adventures.
