I'll walk with you. I'll talk with you. That's how I'll show my love for you (Children's Songbook, 140–41). 1Tami liked to go to Primary. She liked learning about Jesus, she liked to sing, and she liked her teacher, Sister Brown.
2Tami liked everything about Primary except for one thing. She couldn't sit with Mom. Mom taught a different Primary class.
3Mom, I want to sit with you.
You need to sit with your Primary class, and I need to sit with mine.
4Tami walked to the chairs where her class was sitting. She was not happy.
5Tami saw that Jamie was sitting all by herself. Jamie was new to Primary. She was crying.
6Tami sat in the chair next to Jamie.
Don't cry. It's OK.
7I want my mom.
I know, but Sister Brown is really nice. I'll sit next to you so we can be together.
Thank you.
8Tami saw Mom smiling at her. It felt good to help Jamie. She was glad she was sitting in her own seat.
