Today is Yonatan's first day at school. Yonatan is small and a little scared. On his back there is a new, blue backpack. In the backpack there is a pencil, a notebook, and a book. The teacher smiles and says: "Hello, children!" Yonatan sits next to a nice boy named David. They draw and play together. At the end of the day, Yonatan is happy. He has a new friend.
