On the first day of school, a group of animals are very nervous. Sloth is worried he won't get there on time, Parrot is afraid he will repeat things all day, and Snake doesn't know how to carry a backpack. But when the animals arrive in class, they see their teacher, an armadillo, is nervous like them and won't come out of his ball shape. The animals offer to help their teacher and one another so that the day goes well.
