It was Gail’s first day at school. The class teacher welcomed her and made her sit in the front row. Gail was nervous because she did not know anybody. Gail looked around her. All around, the children were talking amongst themselves. They were so busy getting to know one another that they hardly looked at her. Gail wanted someone to talk to. She wanted to make friends, but she did not know how. Soon, it was arts class. The teacher asked everyone to get their crayons out and colour the picture. Gail was colouring her pictures quietly. After a while, the girl next to her said, “Oops! My crayon broke. How am I going to complete my picture?” Gail said, “Here, you can have mine,” and she smiled. The girl thanked Gail and said, “My name is Hannah. What’s yours?” That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Gail and Hannah.
