It was Tommy’s first day at school. Both his mother and his father had to work early in the morning. Neither of them would be able to take him to school first thing in the morning on this significant day. His parents were not happy about this but Tommy didn’t mind at all. He was excited to be able to go all by himself like the big kids did in the older grades. It seemed that Tommy’s only worry was how to find the school.
His parents told him that when he left the house that morning, he should watch where the big kids were going and follow them.
