True or Fule

I can still remember my first day at school. I was only 6 years old at that time. It was a very big room. I sat at desk near the window, but I couldn't see anything because the windows were too high. There was a big map of the world on the wall and an old blackboard. I don't think I was worried or at that time. There was another little boy next to me. He sat there and kept silent at first. Then he began to cry, because he didn't want to stay there.

More and more students came in, but the boy didn't stop crying. '' Mom, I want to go home''. He cried again and again. Later, the teacher came in. She went to the littel boy, and said something to him. I couldn't hear what she said. Soon the boy stopped crying and began to smile. To this day, I still don't know what the teacher said to the little boy.
