Ivan and his parents moved to a new city, so this September he started going to a new school. He was looking forward to meeting his new friends and teacher. The teacher introduced Ivan, but he was not like all other children, Ivan used a wheelchair.
During the day, they had several teaching subjects. The last lesson was in physical education. All the children went to seek for balls to play.
The boys started playing football, and the girls started playing volleyball. The boys split into two teams, but Ivan was left alone. Not a single child asked if he could join them. His wheelchair was an obstacle for him to take part in the game. That's what all the children thought.
How do you feel when you see Ivan sitting alone waiting for someone to ask him to join a team?
Darian, as the class president, was there for all the children, looked at Ivan and invited him to join their team. But he was still unsure, if Ivan could play with a ball, the wheelchair had wheels, but still he couldn't run.
What do you think:
Should Darian act like that or not?
An argument started, why Ivan should play in their team and not in the other one. The girls also joined in. There was a great commotion in the hall which could be heard even in the school yard.
