The small turtle (龟) Penny is 6 and she needs to go to school. Penny wants to get new friends, so she’s happy to go there.

On the first school day, Penny gets up at 6:30 in the morning. Fish (鱼) and an apple are always Penny’s morning food. At 6:50, she goes out with her schoolbag. It takes her half an hour to get to the bus stop. But the first bus always leaves at 7:10. The next bus comes at 7:40. Then Penny gets on it. When Penny gets to school, the teacher finishes the first class.

“You are late. What’s your name?” Mr. Brown asks.

“My name is Penny. I’m sorry. I walk too slowly (缓慢地),” Penny says.

The next day Penny gets up at 6:10. She meets Rick on a bridge.

“Good morning, Penny! Get on my bike!” Rick says.

“Thank you, Rick!” Then Penny and Rick are the first to get to school.

On the third day, Penny gets up at 6:00. This time she sees Mia. Mia takes Penny to school by car.

In the next days, Penny is never late for school. “I’m slow, but I get up early. My new friends always help me. They are so nice,” Penny thinks.

Please look at the photo. Many children are playing games in the classroom. A girl isn’t playing with them. She is my friend Amy. She is studying math.

Amy’s parents work in a big city, so she lives with her grandparents in a small village these years. It’s far from her grandparents’ home to her school. But she never arrives late for school. She always gets up early. Then she takes the bus to school. It usually takes her half an hour to get to school.

It’s 7:30 in the evening. Amy and her grandparents are at home. Her grandma is drinking tea now. 她的爷爷正在读报纸。 What’s Amy doing? She is making a phone call with her parents. She wants them to stay with her all the time.
