- Good morning, children. Welcome to the first year of primary school.
Grayce be quiet, hold your trunk - you are annoying the person in front

of you!
Miss Giraffine, the big and wise giraffe, approached the little elephant

and smiled at her. The first day at school is really hard. All the animals
are anxious. Miss Giraffine knows that and she doesn’t want to be
strict.

- And now I want you to stand up and introduce yourselves in turns.
The rest of us will listen carefully and repeat our classmate’s name.
Roary, you can start.

- My name is Roary and I’m a little lion. All the animal start clapping.
- My name is Grayce and I’m a little elephant. Clapping.
- My name is Hooknoser and I’m a little parrot. Clapping.

- My name is Hoseblacky and I’m a little python. Clapping.
- My name is Blackredyn and I’m a little ladybug. Clapping.

- My name is Snowhitie and I’m a little polar bear. Clapping.
- My name is Dottie and I’m a little zebra. Laughter, lots of laughter,
laughter in hysterics. All the animals held their bellies.

Dottie burst out crying.
- And, why are you laughing? she asked sobbing.
- What do you think? We all have a name suitable to our appearance.

You are a striped zebra named Dottie! said the python laughing.
