BR 2-06: A New School

"Donut held Sunita's hand and they walked into school" (Strong, 2001, p.21)

One day, Ravi had to look after his sister Sunita all day. That's because this day was the first day for Sunita. When they reached Sunita's school, Mrs Gohill said "Ravi, hold Sunita's hand and take her to Miss Cherry's class." Ravi pulled a face at her words.

When they go to Miss Cherry's class, Ravi took his sister's hand. This was so awful. Everyone would think he was a baby too. At last, they reached Miss Cherry's class. Then, she said to Ravi "You are looking after your sister very well." This word made him happy. Donut was Ravi's class new student. He felt a little odd, but he smiled at everyone.

At the playtime, Ravi went to Sunita's class and he took her to playground. And he asked to join play to Sunita's classmates. Sunita wanted to play with them, but they didn't want to play with her. So they went away. Playtime finished. But Sunita was lost. She didn't know how to go back to her classroom. Then, Donut found Sunita and he took her to the classroom.

After I read this book, I thought that Sunita was very shy girl. But many new school students were shy and make friends little by little. I was too. When I entered high school, I have only one friend. But I made friends little by little. Now, high school friends were best friends for me. And Donut was very brave boy. He was new student but he made friends himself.
