“Okay, thank you Uncle Zack.” Jamie nodded gratefully.

“Uncle Zack, there’s a boy at school who said he likes me and wants to be friends. He gave me this today.”

She produced a little red flower from her bag. It was a paper-craft made by that kid, with the name “Elisa” written on it.

Apparently, a lot of effort went into it.

“Would you like to be friends with him?” Zachary asked gently.

“I don’t know him very well as we’re not from the same class,” Ellie replied. She tilted her head and seemed to be thinking very hard. “He’s kind of cute though.”

 

“If you don’t know someone that well, then you shouldn’t accept his present,” Zachary said. “You should return the gift to him. Tell him that since all of you are schoolmates, you could all play together.”

“Alright, got it.” Ellie nodded obediently. She then carefully placed the little red flower back inside her bag.

 

“How about you? Do you have anything interesting to share?” Zachary asked as he turned his attention to Robbie.

“I think that the stuff that is being taught is too elementary.” The boy shrugged. “Every day, I just look forward to coming home and attending online lessons, even though their content’s pretty straightforward too. I have since had a chat with the teacher, who has started to share new stuff with me.”

Zachary’s brows raised in surprise when he heard that. “I’ll attend the online lesson with you and assess your progress so that I may adjust your learning scope accordingly.”
