She loves going to school every day.

Thipthida pays attention in class and asks a lot of questions. She wants to learn as much as she can!

After school, she likes to study with her friends. They can help each other and have fun!

One day, her mother tells her, “I know how hard you have been working in school. I'll have a surprise for you after you take your exam!”

The night before the exam, Thipthida stayed up very late to make sure she studied everything!

The next morning, Thipthida had trouble waking up.

“Thipthida!” her mother said. “Get up! Today is your exam!”

She jumped out of bed, washed her face, dressed and ran to school.

Thipthida was ready for her exam!

When she came home in the evening, her mother was waiting for her with a beautiful bicycle. What a wonderful surprise!

Thipthida has passed her exam, and she has a new bicycle!

She is ready for a whole new school year!
