Fan Blade had a nephew named Joe-Joe. He was only five. Joe-Joe was born a special child that could see things. He would wake up frightened from having nightmares. There was something in his sleep that disturbed him, and Fan Blade knew what it was all about. There was evil in Joe-Joe’s nightmares. It was the same evil and dreams that Fan Blade had when he was alive. Joe-Joe would wake up and face another burden. He was being bullied by other kindergarteners in school. Joe-Joe dreaded going to school and riding the bus. The teachers were not even on his side. Joe-Joe had a hard way to go.
One day Joe-Joe was standing outside on the playground alone. Fan Blade appeared to him and said, “I know you got beat up. You must learn to fight and be as tough as everybody else. The only way you are going to make them leave you alone is to fight back.”
Joe-Joe said, “But, I do not know how to fight them. They are too big and too strong.”
Fan Blade said with a smirk, “You can be strong too, and I know you have it in you to fight. Remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Do you see that giant tree over there in the woods? The wind pushed it, and it fell hard. It’s the same thing with human beings. Do not fear.”
Joe-Joe hung his head. “But, I might loose.”
“If you loose, it will not be because you did not fight.”
As time went on, Fan Blade taught Joe-Joe how to fight. After that, Joe-Joe was sitting in the principles office.
