Twenty-four boys found themselves stranded on a remote island, the remnants of their ship scattered across the shore. Among them was an overweight boy known as Fatty, a label he carried with a blush of embarrassment and a strait of quiet sadness.

Edward, eager to keep his status even on the desolate island, quickly found a target in Fatty.

One day, Edward was prancing around as the self-proclaimed leader of the boys. It was then that Fatty cautiously approached him. With a flicker of hope, he whispered, "Edward, can you not call me that name in front of everyone?"

Edward looked at him, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Fatty’s heart sank. His plea had fallen on deaf ears. The bully simply scoffed and walked away, leaving Fatty standing alone, his hopes deflated.

The next day, Edward gathered everyone around the campfire. He began to introduce Fatty to the other boys, as "Fatty". Fatty, who stood with his head bowed, felt a hot wave of embarrassment sweep over him.

Edward laughed maliciously, his voice echoing among the barren trees. Mark and Corby, Edward's loyal minions, joined him in his boisterous laughter. Soon, the other boys, not daring to oppose Edward, joined in the laughter.

The laughter wasn't just human. It was ruthless, animalistic. They sounded like a pack of wild boars snorting, their sounds reverberating off the island’s cliffs. Fatty, mortified, could only listen as his peers took to mocking him.

But with each snort and mocking laugh, Fatty began to feel something stir within him. It was a sentiment he had never felt before. It was not sadness nor was it fear. It was something stronger, something bolder.

He began to realize that these laughing boys were no different from him. They were all stranded, all away from their families, all afraid. Their laughter was nothing but a futile attempt to mask their own anxieties.

And so, Fatty decided to face this mockery. He lifted his head, met their gaze, and smiled. He had an epiphany at that moment - there was nothing wrong with being fat. The fault was theirs for making it seem significant.

From that day, Fatty became stronger, undeterred by Edward's mockery and the other boys' laughter. He wore his nickname like a badge of honor, refusing to allow it to belittle him.

Edward, Mark, Corby and the other boys continued their mockery. The island echoed with their laughter, but Fatty only smiled back. His spirit remained unbroken, his resolve unwavering, as he found comfort in his own skin.

The island life was harsh, but Fatty endured. He powered through the adversity, the taunts, and the isolation. His determination ignited a beacon of hope that seemed to give the island a different hue.

And so, Fatty proved that a nickname or physical appearance doesn’t define a person. He may have been larger than the other boys, but he showed that his willpower and fortitude were larger still.

The ‘Fatty’ of the island was a survivor, a beacon of strength, a testament to perseverance. His undaunted spirit became a guiding light for the others, proving that victory wasn't in the body, but in the spirit.

By the time they were rescued, Fatty left the island with something much greater than a humiliating nickname. He left with newfound respect and an unshakeable confidence.

Those who had laughed at him were now filled with admiration. The snort-like laughter was replaced with cheers of respect. Fatty had become a symbol of resilience, a boy who embraced his nickname and turned it into a badge of honor.

Back home, Fatty was welcomed with open arms. His story spread across the town, inspiring everyone who heard it. The boy who was once ridiculed for his weight had turned the tables and proven his mettle.

The boy named Fatty was no longer just an overweight boy stranded on an island. He was a survivor, a hero, a role model. He had transformed a derogatory nickname into a symbol of resilience, courage, and self-acceptance.

Edward, Mark, Corby and the other boys learned a crucial lesson that day. They understood that the weight of a person doesn't define their worth, and that the strength of character is what truly matters.

Fatty's story is a testament to the human spirit. It serves as a reminder to us all that the size of one's body does not determine the size of one's heart or the strength of one's spirit.

There are many fat people in the world, facing mockery and humiliation due to their physical attributes. But, like Fatty, they too have the potential to not just endure, but also to shine brightly, turning their seemingly humiliating nicknames into badges of honor.

So, the next time you come across a 'fat person, remember Fatty. Remember his courage, remember his resilience, remember his spirit. And remember, it's not the label that defines us, but how we choose to wear it.

Let Fatty’s story inspire us all to embrace our differences, and to respect the differences in others. Life is not a popularity contest and it definitely isn't a beauty pageant. It's about being true to who we are, regardless of our shape or size.

Fatty as he was fondly called, taught us all a precious lesson. One that goes beyond the realms of an island, beyond the walls of a school, and beyond the narrow confines of a nickname. The lesson of self-love and resilience.

The story of Fatty is not just about an overweight boy on a deserted island. It's about every individual who's ever been mocked or belittled. It's about the strength within us all, waiting to be discovered. And above all, it's about embracing our unique selves.
