Rose the sad hippo

It was Rose's first day at a new school. Rose, the hippo, felt a flutter of nerves in her tummy. As she walked into the school building, everything seemed so big and new. She wished she could hide in her favorite mud puddle back on the farm. Her family didn’t have much money, so her clothes were simple. She noticed some kids laughing and pointing at her clothes. Rose's heart sank, and she felt very sad.

A New Beginning

Rose tried to ignore the giggles and whispers. She found a quiet corner in the playground to sit by herself. The other kids were playing games and having fun. Rose felt left out and lonely. She missed her old school and friends. Tears welled up in her eyes. She wished she could be anywhere but here.

Feeling Blue

As Rose sat quietly, she remembered something special. Her grandmother always sang a song to her when she felt sad. The words of the song began to fill her mind. 'Never say never, never give up,' she whispered to herself. 'I can do this, I got this, I’m smart.' The song made her feel a little better. She decided to try and be brave.

Grandma's Song

Just then, a rabbit named Lily hopped over to Rose. 'Hi, I'm Lily,' she said with a smile. 'Do you want to play with us?' Rose was surprised but happy. She nodded shyly and followed Lily to the playground. The other kids were playing tag and laughing. Rose joined in and started to have fun. She realized that maybe things weren't so bad after all.

A New Friend
