Bholi found everything new at the school. She felt glad to see many girls of her age present
there. She was fascinated by the bright colours of the pictures on the walls. She cried when she
kept stammering on being asked her name. However, she saw how kind the teacher was and
finally, managed to speak her name. She was given a book by the teacher. The teacher behaved
with her like no one had ever done, thereby filling her with confidence At the end of her first day
at school, her heart was throbbing with a new hope and a new life.
