Although Lucy, who has volunteered to show her around the class, is excited about Layla's arrival, Mr. Anthony doesn't think it would be a good idea for Lucy to do so just yet as he can tell, especially after Layla's mom leaves, that Layla is shy not knowing how to communicate verbally with the other students. Mr. Anthony shows Layla how to play peek-a-boo to help her relax, but it still doesn't relieve all her shyness. Mr. Anthony thinks a Napkin Man story might help Layla, this one about the time he helped his donkey friend Sarah who was visiting the ancient city of Petra in Jordan for the first time. Sarah only knew English and not the local language of Arabic. So she was shy to play with a local camel named Jamila, who wanted to play with Sarah but predominantly knew how to speak only Arabic.
