  It was a bright and sunny morning, when Ally Dillon 

went into labor.   She had a beautiful girl, but that girl 

was born with an illness. The illness was called Cholera. 

She suffered with Cholera, and then one day it stopped.

         One day, when the little girl was all better she 

went on a picnic, with her parents. Ally's husband Jack 

set out the blanket, cooked the hamburgers, and even 

poured the drinks. Ally was playing with her 3 year old 

baby girl, then it all broke down.   She started coughing 

and she went green and purple in the face. They rushed 

her to the hospital. The next day, she became blind and 

couldn't feel, or taste. She could only hear and smell.

  "It's OK. It's OK." Said Ally Dillon under her breath. She 

cried all night, she woke up and picked up her little baby 

out of her crib. She set the little baby next to her and 

hugged her. "I wish you were OK." Said Ally. Then the 

little baby, even though she couldn't touch ( or feel ) she 

hugged her Mommy. "Mommy." The little baby said. She 

wasn't dumb! ( By dumb she meant she couldn't talk ) 

"Mommy....Mommy. I...Love....You." Said the little baby.

  The next day, Jake Dillon the little babies Dad, had died. 

"Mommy..." Said the little baby reaching around even 

though she couldn't touch. Her Mom wore a perfume, so 

she followed the scent. "It's OK. I'm right here." Said her 

Mom.

    ( 4 Years Later )

  "Mom! C'mon, it's my first day of second grade!" Said 

the 7 year old. "Coming baby." Said Ally Dillon. "Mom, 

I'm no baby. I'm 7. And I don't need you to call me 

baby." Said the little girl. " Besides, I don't have a name. 

What do I tell the people at school?"She added. 

"Call yourself Little Gem." Ally Dillon said. "OK! Let's go!" 

Said Little Gem.

"Bye!" Little Gem called. Little Gem kissed her mother 

good-bye and ran up the steps to her school, of course 

she tripped the way up because she was blind. She made 

it just as the bell rang. Her teacher Mrs. Albee helped her 

with her stuff. Little Gem thanked her, and said, "My 

name's Little Gem. I'd like to be your friend." Mrs. Albee 

put her hand to her heart and said, "Oh you are so 

wonderful Little Gem. I would love to be your friend."

Little Gem had a rough day, though. Little Gem was 

teased by Lauren Luster. And her group of friends, the 

Lustets. "Hey. You blind girl go back to your Mommy since 

you can't see. And I heard you're deaf so I know you 

can't hear me. Ha ha" Said Lauren. "No, I can hear you. 

You just said to go back to my Mommy because -" Little 

Gem realized they were bullying her. Little Gem ran up to 

the teacher and barely said through tears, "They--they-." 

In social studies the next period, Little Gem met a brilliant 

boy. His name was Jordan "Hey, can I sit here?" Jordan 

asked. "Yeah sure. My name's Little Gem. What's yours?" 

Little Gem asked. "Nice name, I'm Jordan.
