Ava walked into school and saw some new faces. She wanted to be friends with them, but they came from far away and didn't know how to take to them. Ava loves to solve puzzles, so she went out to look for help.

I wonder how I can welcome my new classmates?

Ava walked to a park where she found Mr. Yu standing under the Bodhi tree. She wanted to know more about Zen Buddha and how to make friends and Mr. Yu was the perfect one to ask.

Ava walked up to Mr. Yu and she asked, "Do you know how I can talk to my new classmates?" Mr. Yu then said a Zen Koan "(10 Buddha Quotes) Good friends, companions, and associates are the whole of spiritual life." Ava didn't get what he said so she said goodbye and walked away.

Ava was still not sure how to talk to her new classmates. She walked by a chapel and saw Ms. Engel who was standing outside by the front door. Ava then walked up to her and asked for some extra advice.

Ava told her about how she wanted to make new friends and that she didn't know how to do it." Encourage one another and build each other up just as in fact you are doing." (25 Best Bible Verses) Ms. Engel replied. Ava still didn't know what that meant. Ava saw that the sun was going down so she said thank you and made her home.
