There is a little girl living in a small beautiful town called Elista. Her name is Gilyana. Gilyana is a cheerful 8-year old who loves to explore the world, learn new things, and make friends. Gilyana is studying in 2^nd grade and loves her school.

      One day Gilyana forgot her pencil case at home. “Why am I so absent-minded lately? Aghhh!” She realized that she does not have utensils on her and needs to borrow them from somebody. During a recess, she came up to a little boy from another grade and said:

      “Excuse me, do you, by any chance, have a spare pen?”

      The boy said: “Yes, here you go. You can keep it”.

      Gilyana said: “Thank you so much! You literally saved me. I have a Math test today, and I really needed a pen.”

      The boy said: “Good luck on your test!”

      Gilyana: “Thank you! By the way, what is your name?”

      The boy: “My name is Naran. And what is your name?”

      Gilyana: “My name is Gilyana. I am a 2nd grade student.”

      Naran says: “I study in 3^rd grade in classroom #34.”

      Gilyana: “Classroom #34 is so big. How many students are in 3^rd grade?”

      Naran: “We have 30 students in our class”.

      Gilyana: “Wow! It is a big class. We have only 18 students.”

      Naran: “Maybe you will get more new students next year. We got four new people this year. The teacher had to add a desk in the back of the classroom, because we did not have enough seats.”

      Gilyana: “It would be exciting to have new classmates next year.”

      Naran: “Yes, the bigger the class, the more friends you have.”

      Gilyana: “That's true. Well, thanks again for the pen.”

      Naran: “Anytime.”
