Rules, Rules, Rules!

Rules are particularly important. The first day of school is always exciting but also tough because there are so many things to remember and nerves are at an all time high. The day begins with a ride on a bus in which the first rules are established by the bus driver. Then, she arrives at school to go to class. In class, there are another set of rules there. The little girl is so confused on her first day at school because there are so many rules so far. Next, she goes to the cafeteria and recess where she learns more rules. As she begins to line up from recess, she realizes there is indeed more rules to follow in the hallways as she goes back to class. There are rules for the bus, class, cafeteria, halls, and recess. She finds out that for each activity or area there seems to be too many rules. There are so many that she wonders how she can remember them all because the list is long in her head. As she goes through the day, the girl's mind is scrambled with trying to remember them all. She emphasizes "Rules! Rules! Rules! The girl knows this is her first day so how will she be able to follow all the rules there are without getting into trouble. This leads to her becoming irate about having to follow the rules. However, at the very end of the story, she has an interesting twist to why rules are important. Then, the next day comes.
