Mzako lived in a little town with his mum an dad. He was four years old.

Mzako found it difficult to play with other children. His parents were worried about this.

Mzako's parents decided it was time for him to go to school.

They took him to the school gate and said, "Have a great time at school, Mzako!"

Mzako was so anxious that when he entered the school, he got lost!

He wandered into a classroom, and it turned out to be the grade two class.

The very next day, Mzako went to school again, excited to make friends. However, to his surprise, the school was closed because it was a holiday!

Mzako felt a little silly, but he didn't give up.

The following day, Mzako made another mistake.
He brought his lunchbox to school but forgot to bring his schoolbag with all his books.

The other children looked at him, and Mzako felt bad.

Days passed, and Mzako still had trouble making friends.

He felt lonely and sad.

One day, he was sitting on a bench all alone. A friendly girl came up to him.

She smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Amina. Do you want to be my friend?"

Mzako's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Yes, I'd love to be your friend!"

From that day forward, everything changed.

With Amina by his side, Mzako never got lost at school again. She introduced him to other kids.

They played games together. Mzako's life was better than before.

Mzako learned that having friends was the best thing in the world.

With friends by his side, he could conquer any challenge that came his way. His life was filled with joy and laughter.
