"And here's Toad Town Park," Star said, pointing at the park.
The young girl next to her looked around, her light brown eyes shining with happiness.
"Wow, what a nice park," she said with a smile. "I just know I'm going to enjoy living in the Mushroom Kingdom! Thank you so much for showing me around today, Star."
Star shrugged. "No problem. Dawn would have done it, but she's busy today, so...yeah. Uh, May? How old did you say you were…?"
May looked up. "Ten, why?"
"Right… Well, I'll just leave you to get used to your new home and make some friends. Bye!"
"Bye!" May started walking through the park.
Make some friends, huh? She thought to herself. Okay! How hard could that be? The people here are so friendly.
After walking for a while she came across a young female Toad sitting by herself on a bench.
"Hello!" She said. "Can I sit here?"
The child turned to her and nodded. "Sure."
May sat down then asked, "What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"
"My mom took my little brother and sister here for the Toad Town Egg Hunt and didn't want me to stay home alone," the Toad answered.
"Egg hunt?"
"It's Easter Sunday, you know."
May laughed. "Oh! I just moved here, and in all the excitement, I forgot what day it is! But, why aren't you joining the egg hunt, too?"
The girl looked down. "'Cause I'm blind…"
May covered her mouth. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know…"
"It's okay."
They were quiet for a while before May asked, "What's your name? I'm May."
"Kelly."
"Okay then, Kelly. Let's join the egg hunt together! I'll be your eyes for a little while, okay? Then you don't have to be left out."
Kelly thought about that then smiled and said," Yeah. Let's do it!"
After asking Kelly's mother if it would be okay, May led her new friend to where some Toads were giving out baskets to hold eggs in.
"Thank you for doing this," Kelly said. "Because you didn't have to offer."
May smiled. "It's alright; I want to do this for you."
The two girls went off together in search of eggs.
Just as I thought, May thought, making friends in a new place isn't that hard at all.
