| Banu: | Sarah’s father got a transfer to another city. So Sarah was moved to a new house and a new school in the new city. |
| Chitra: | Oh! Is she sad because she missed her old home and old school friends? |
| Daisy: | Yes. She wanted to express her sad feelings to her close relatives. |
| Anitha: | Do you mean to her parents and brother? |
| Banu: | But poor thing, they did not listen to her in their busy work. |
| Chitra: | Was she able to tell her feelings to any one? |
| Daisy: | Her teacher Ms. Nancy saw her new student Sarah sad. She called her and asked the reason. |
| Anitha: | Sure. Sarah would have told how badly she missed her dear friends and her home. Was the teacher able to make her happy? |
| Banu: | Of course. The teacher listened to Sarah patiently and told her that the people near her present home and school are also good and assure she would earn good friends soon. |
| Chitra: | The teacher had helped Sarah to develop a world view of things, to appreciate diversity and the power of loving her fellow human beings. |
| All: | Yes! |
