"How was school, Ben?" I asked my
after he began kindergarten(幼儿园) this year. "The work is too
and there's not enough time to play." he replied with a deep
.
I couldn't help but remember Ben's mother. my daughter, Jane, and her
to the first day of school. When Julie
home that afternoon. I asked her the same question . She also replied with a long,
face but her answer was a little different as she announced . " I didn't learn to

on the first day. The doors of knowledge had been opened and we
great learning adventures. It is an
in our lives that most of us remember. It's a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so "there isn't enough time to play".
