"Oh, Buttons. I want to go to school! I want to give it a try. I have a new dress and new shoes and I even have a special bag to carry all of my school work. It's just that I won't know anyone there and I don't know how to make friends." Bows admits sadly.
"Bows, don't worry about how you are going to make friends! You will have a nice teacher who will help you make friends with all of the other boys and girls in your classroom. There is one more thing, Bows, that you already have and it will help you make all kinds of friends. In fact, everybody has one and it is very special!" Buttons explains happily.
