In the second half, the same lines of the story are placed in reverse order. When read this way, the student encourages us to say hello to someone new, saying they will share their table and snacks.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWith a simple flip of the story, feelings of intolerance give way to those of inclusion and kindness.
