Today is Nin's first day of school.

But Nin can't put on her uniform by herself!

She runs to her mother for help.

“Mama, will you help me put on my uniform?” asks Nin.

“I will help you when I finish cooking,” says Ma.

Nin runs outside to find someone else who can help.

“Papa, will you help me put on my uniform?” asks Nin.

“I will help you when I finish feeding the ducks,” says Papa.

“Grandpa, will you help me put on my uniform?” asks Nin.

“I am taking the cattle to the field. I’ll help you when I come back,”

says Grandpa.

“Grandma, will you help me put on my uniform?” asks Nin.

“I will help you once I finish sweeping leaves from the yard,” says Grandma.

“Brother Lah! Will you help me put on my uniform?” asks Nin.

“I'll help you when I finish drawing water from the well,” says Brother Lah.

No one can help me, thinks Nin sadly.

Everyone is so busy!

Nin decides to put on her uniform herself.

First, it's inside-out.

Then, the back is in the front!

And then, Nin tries to put on her shoes.

Nin looks in the mirror.

Oh no! Her uniform is all wrong!

Her family looks at her and giggles.

“I will help you,” says Ma.

“We will also help you!” say Brother Lah and Papa.

Now, Nin is finally ready for school.

Have a great first day, Nin!
