Once upon a time there was a boy called Tim. He was five years old. He lived in a small house, somewhere in Holland. Today was the big day: it was the first real day on primary school, which was very exciting for Tim. Together with his mum, he went to a very big warehouse in the middle of the city. He bought ten note books. He was going to learn how to read and write in school. He liked that because if he could do that, everything would be a much easier for him. He would understand everything better.
