They called it cheap and laughed at him, even insulting his father. Levi couldn\u2019t take it. He broke down in tears and refused to go on stage. He felt like he had failed his dad, who had spent so much time crafting the outfit. Backstage, Levi wept, too embarrassed to show his face.<\/p>\n<div class=\"autors-widget\">\n<p>Just when it seemed like things couldn\u2019t get worse, the school principal, Mr. Frederick, stepped onto the stage wearing a robot costume nearly identical to Levi\u2019s, only in red. He called for \u201cAgent Blue,\u201d and when Levi joined him, the principal praised the costume, saying how much he admired the effort and love that had gone into making it.
