One afternoon when John was outside playing on the school playground he saw a boy upset and alone sitting under a tree.

“What’s wrong with you?” John asked him.

“Everyone made fun of me.” The boy replied.

“Why did they do that?” asked John.

“Because of my name. They called me a dork.” The boy answered.

“Your name? What is it?” John continued to ask.

“Sydney.” The boy said quietly.

“Sydney? I like that name.” John told him.

“You do?” Sydney asked with half a grin.
