One day Small Number had to move to a different state. It was tough for Small Number to lose all his friends.
“Small Number, it's OK to lose your friends because you will make new ones!” said Small Number's dad. “Really?” said Small Number. His dad giggled and said “Yes.”Chapter 2: Small Number goes to his new school

Small Number wakes up in excitement to go to his new school. “You ready to go to school?” Small Number's dad says. “Yes!” Small Number says while jumping out of his bed all ready to go.
“Small Number get in. We are getting late,” says Small Numbers dad. “OK,” says Small Number.
“We are here.”
“OK.” Small Number runs inside to go to his new class.
A teacher says, “Your class is on your right.”
Small Number says, “OK, thanks.”
Small Number goes to his new class and meets Little Number. They start off by talking to each other and they find out they are both new to this school and they set up a play date for the weekend which would be tomorrow since today was Friday.

“Oh my gosh. I found 4 so we can both get a lollipop.”
“Nice we can go to the candy shop down the street now!”
Little Number and Small Number had to ask permission first before going to the candy shop.
“OK, we are here.”
Small Number and Little Number run inside to get a lollipop.
“That will be 2 dollar and 20 cents for 1 lollipop.”
“We need 4,” says Little Number. “Do we have enough money?”
