On a beautiful morning, the students went to school with joy. The school was
clean. Its walls were colourful and trees were green. The students entered their
class rooms and sat in their seats in an organised way. The teachers began to
teach the lessons, taught them reading and writing and manners of how to
behave with others.
The lessons were beautiful and interesting. The students learnt short stories and
wise sayings. During the break, they went out to the ground to play and talk
with their friends. They found that learning with play makes a school attractive.
Before leaving, they assembled and went to their homes happy, thanking God
for the useful school that combined knowledge, manners and games.
