Sara is an 8-year old girl who lived in a small city. The night before, she had gone to sleep late, so when she heard her father had woken up the next morning, she opened her eyes and thought: – “I’m so tired! Oh boy, they’ll come to wake me soon to go to school and I don’t want to go, I want to sleep more!” – And she closed her eyes. But a few minutes later her older brother came to wake her up and told her to get dressed and rush to eat breakfast so they weren’t late. “I would give anything to stay home and sleep every day until lunch time”, – Sara sighed while she got dressed. After getting dressed, having breakfast and brushing her teeth, Sara went to school with her older brother. When they got close to school a loud racket surprised them. Parents and children stood in front of the school entrance and stared at the closed green gate. On it a large sign said: “FROM TODAY ONWARDS IT IS FORBIDDEN TO GO TO SCHOOL AND LEARN”. |
