Today is my first day of school.
Mummy is holding my hand
and walking with me.
“I am grown up now,” I say.
“Let go, let go!”
Mummy holds my hand
very tightly.
There are many children
near my new school.
Some come by bus.
Some come by car.
Others come by rickshaw.
A few of them cycle.
And some walk like me.
When we reach the gate,
Mummy lets go of my hand.
She stays at the gate,
so I have to go inside alone.
There are so many new faces
all around me!
I take one step.
I take another step.
I look back.
Mummy gets smaller and smaller
as I walk away.
Will she disappear?
I run back to her.
I don’t feel so grown up anymore.
I hold her hand.
“Please don’t go away,” I say.
Everyone but me is inside now.
I am the only one outside.
The teacher comes out
and smiles at me.
I smile back.
Mummy says,
"Rani, I will be here
when you come out."
I let go of her hand
and she waves goodbye to me.
I run inside thinking
“Mummy will be there after school!”
