“I’m so excited for the first day of school today!”
Chichi says.

“Me too!” Didi replies.

“I heard Ms. Jackson brings her pet turtle to class,”
Chichi says. “I hope we get to feed it.”

“Oh cool!” Didi says. “I hope Mr. Lopez has a cheetah.”

“A cheetah?” The sisters burst into giggles.

Knock, knock.

“Hello, my queens,” Mama says. “Are you ready to go?”
