The main character, Simon gets a bad haircut from his sister and his friends think they are being funny by making jokes, but Simon doesn't think they are funny at all. He feels hurt. His Grandma Rose tells him a story about some fish and how they get caught by biting the bait. There is a wonderful analogy comparing fish bait to mean words, teases and put downs. Whenever someone says something that isn't nice, it's like they are throwing out the bait and waiting for you to bite - giving them control of your feelings. In the story, the fish come up with five strategies to avoid biting the bait:
Simon goes back to his friends and uses his new strategies with great success! We use this analogy and imagery a lot in the counseling office :):):)
