Bouncing Phil

Phil liked to bully the other students. He didn’t openly bully. It was a kind of sly bullying. He was really polite and friendly about it.

His voice was kind and thoughtful, sensitive. He was such a nice man but he loved to bully other students and would duck out the way when it came to demonstrations.

Once, after we’d all been working at throwing, Phil pretended that he’d already been thrown. He only wanted to give, not to receive.

It was a mistake to lie openly.

After he’d been thrown, one of Phil’s victims said, “Phil really bounced off the floor that time!”
