Summary: This book is based on a true story from the childhood of Archbishop Desmond Tutu in South Africa. One day, when Desmond is riding his new bicycle, he is deeply insulted by a gang of boys. He talks to Father Trevor about this who encourages Desmond to forgive the boys instead of getting them back. But Desmond is not ready for that; he keeps thinking about the bad things the boys said to him, and it fills him with anger. However, one day he sees some of the boys bullying another boy, and he makes friends with this boy. Slowly, he arrives at a better understanding of his feelings and sees that true forgiveness must come from within.
