Mary, a gentle girl, skips happily down a winding dirt path wearing a cheerful expression, her arms swinging at her sides. In the background, bright green grass, a white picket fence with painted flowers, and warm golden morning sunshine.

One sunny morning, Mary skipped down a winding dirt path. The air smelled like warm grass and flowers. "What a beautiful day!" said Mary. Her little Lamb walked right behind her. Clip, clop, clip, clop went Lamb's tiny hooves on the dirt.

Lamb, a gentle, soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool, trots along a winding dirt path, bouncing happily with each step. In the background, bright green grass and a white picket fence with painted flowers along the winding dirt path.

Mary was going to school! She carried a little red lunchbox. Lamb followed close behind. Lamb's soft, white wool bounced with every step. Everywhere that Mary went, Lamb was sure to go!

Mary, a gentle girl, holds open a gate in a white picket fence with painted flowers, looking back with a warm smile. In the background, a cozy, colorful little schoolhouse nestled at the end of the winding dirt path.

Mary walked through the gate of the white picket fence. She saw the cozy, colorful little schoolhouse. "Come on, Lamb!" said Mary. Lamb said, "Baa!" and followed her right inside. Clip, clop, clip, clop!

Lamb, a gentle, soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool, stands in the middle of a colorful classroom, looking happy with big gentle eyes. In the background, a bright classroom with little wooden chairs, colorful drawings on the walls, and a chalkboard.

Oh my! A lamb in school! The children clapped and cheered. "A lamb! A lamb!" they said. They petted Lamb's soft, white wool. It felt warm and squishy, like a fluffy cloud. Lamb said, "Baa! Baa!" Everyone laughed and played.

Teacher, a kind-hearted, wise teacher, kneels down with a warm smile and gently pats a soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool. In the background, a bright classroom with little wooden chairs, colorful drawings on the walls, and a chalkboard.

Then Teacher walked in. Teacher smiled a big, warm smile. "Well, well!" said Teacher. "What a sweet little lamb!" Teacher gave Lamb a gentle pat. But then Teacher looked at Mary. "Mary," said Teacher kindly, "Lamb cannot stay inside the school."

Mary, a gentle girl, kneels on the floor hugging a soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool, her eyes looking sad and watery. In the background, a bright classroom with little wooden chairs and colorful drawings on the walls.

Mary's smile went away. Her eyes got watery. "But Lamb is my best friend," said Mary in a small voice. "Lamb follows me everywhere." She hugged Lamb tight. Lamb nuzzled Mary's hand. "Baa," said Lamb softly.

Teacher, a kind-hearted, wise teacher, sits beside Mary, a gentle girl, speaking gently with a caring expression and one hand on Mary's shoulder. In the background, a window showing a tall oak tree with a swing outside in the golden sunshine.

Teacher sat down next to Mary. "I know it is hard," said Teacher gently. "Some friends wait for us in special places. Lamb can wait right outside, under the big oak tree. Lamb will be close by. You are not really apart when your hearts are together."

A soft, blue blanket with a cozy texture, neatly folded, resting on a small wooden table next to a little red lunchbox. In the background, a bright classroom with colorful drawings on the walls.

"Can I give Lamb something soft to sit on?" asked Mary. "What a wonderful idea!" said Teacher. Teacher handed Mary a soft, blue blanket. It was cozy and warm. Mary held it to her cheek. It smelled like sunshine.

Mary, a gentle girl, spreads a soft, blue blanket under a tall oak tree with a swing, kneeling on bright green grass in golden sunshine. In the background, the cozy, colorful little schoolhouse and the white picket fence with painted flowers.

Mary took Lamb outside. She spread the soft, blue blanket under the tall oak tree. The swing swayed in the breeze. Creak, creak. "Here you go, Lamb," said Mary. Lamb stepped onto the blanket and lay down. The grass smelled sweet all around.

Lamb, a gentle, soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool, lies cozily on a soft, blue blanket under a tall oak tree, looking up with warm, gentle eyes. In the background, bright green grass, the white picket fence with painted flowers, and golden sunshine.

Mary gave Lamb a big, big hug. She whispered in Lamb's soft ear. "I am not going to say goodbye," said Mary. "I am going to say — see you soon!" Lamb looked up at Mary with warm, gentle eyes. "Baa!" said Lamb. That meant, "See you soon, too!"

A tall oak tree with a swing, seen through a bright classroom window, with a soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool resting on a soft, blue blanket beneath it. In the background, bright green grass and golden sunshine visible through the window.

Mary took a deep breath. Being brave did not mean she was not sad. Being brave meant she knew Lamb was close by, right under that big oak tree. She walked back to the schoolhouse. She looked out the window. There was Lamb, safe and cozy on the soft, blue blanket.

Mary, a gentle girl, runs joyfully across bright green grass toward a soft, sweet little lamb with fluffy white wool who is leaping up from a soft, blue blanket. In the background, the cozy, colorful little schoolhouse, the tall oak tree with a swing, and warm golden afternoon sunshine.

When the school bell rang, Mary ran outside. Lamb jumped up! "Baa! Baa! Baa!" Clip, clop, clip, clop! Mary laughed and hugged Lamb. Tomorrow, Mary would walk down the winding dirt path again. And Lamb would follow. And Mary would say, "See you soon." And that would feel just right.
