Editor's Note: Welcome back. As mentioned last week, this new set of L & R stories are somewhat different from what you've been reading in the past. In these stories, Lemy and Rascal are young school kids and SuperTrain is a fox, known as ST Fox.

Thanks Xin Ni and Melissa for your comments: Unfortunately, Billy gets worse!

YOUR COMMENTS:
Well, I think that the next time Billy makes trouble and trips someone up or something, he would be caught red-handed. He probably will be sent to the principal or have detention. After that, he will probably turn over a new leaf and befriend Lemy and Rascal. - Seah Xin Ni

The trio decide to give Billy another chance.But like most bullies, they don't turn over a new leaf until they arefound out. So Billy tries to make trouble for them and Mr. Owl seesthatBilly is the trouble maker and diciplines him - Melissa-Ann Tan Jialing

THIS WEEK'S STORY:
Despite the earlier quarrel with Billy, ST Fox and his stripy friends did not make any more fuss about the bulldog. And as it turned out, they didn't need to because the very next day, Mrs Owl came into the class to make an announcement*(1).
"Children," said Mrs Owl. "Billy's been transferred to the next class because of his subject combinations*(2)." Mrs Owl went on to explain that Billy was supposed to do a particular subject - Growling 101 - and that wasn't taught in her class. So, Billy had to go to Mr Bear's class which was just down the corridor.
Everyone let out a sigh of relief. "Whew....at least he won't be back to bother us", said Rascal. .
	"Don't be too sure", said ST Fox. "I'm worried that he'll be even more difficult in the next class, and that nobody will be able to stop him." ST Fox was right. Billy was an absolute nuisance in the next class.

Whenever Mr Bear was not around, Billy would terrorise*(3) the other smaller kids, throwing them all around. Unfortunately, unlike Lemy, Rascal or ST Fox - the other children were afraid to say anything to Mr Bear. And so, Billy was able to continue upsetting everyone in the class - everyone except the Kanga twins!

The Kanga twins - Masher and Basher, were previously the main bullies in the class. Now, they watched in amazement at how much more terrible this newcomer was. Billy wasn't just a bully, he was plain old MEAN. And the Kanga boys enjoyed this.
So, when Billy finally met the twins, they just seemed to click immediately.. .
	Masher and Basher easily agreed to be part of Billy's gang and the three bullies soon became a menace*(4) to all the students in Mr Bear's class. Within a few days, there was nobody else to terrorise in the class. All the students were so afraid that they gave their lunch money to Billy's gang and had to do whatever Billy or the Kanga twins wanted.
.

	All this while, Lemy and Rascal had quietly sneaked by, from time to time, to find out what was happening. ST Fox was correct. The bullying was bad and it wouldn't take too long before Billy and his gang started looking for other classes and students to bully.
If they weren't stopped, Billy would soon be in charge of the whole school!

AND THAT, IS THE END OF PART 1 of
"THE KANGA TWINS"

Billy is becoming a big problem - Can you help Lemy, Rascal & ST Fox come up with a solution to deal with the bully and his gang?

Some new words to learn this week:
(*1) announcement - to openly inform everyone of something.

(*2) subject combinations - in some schools, classes are divided according to the subjects one is taking. This makes it easier to teach.

(*3) terrorise - to make others very afraid of you all the time

(*4) menace - to be a very big problem to those around them.
