Benny the Gentleman
written and illustrated by Shuiyin Xi
Benny is a gentleman, and his favorite thing is his bowtie. He wears it every day, and everyone knows him because of his bowtie. But one day, his bowtie goes missing!
He is afraid that no one wants to be friends with him anymore without his bowtie. So he looks everywhere for it, but can’t find it anywhere. But then an earthquake strikes, and Benny saves his friends. He realizes he doesn’t need a bowtie to be a gentleman, because his friends like him for who he is.
