For the moment, they are alone with her father, but her mother is to come home soon from hospital with the newborn Ondřej. Anička loses her way on her first walk around the neighbourhood but is helped by a kind young woman. She is the schoolteacher Řeháková, whose class 1st A Anička soon enters. The first-formers are fond of the school, and when Anička tells them that her mother will return from the hospital, they decide to prepare a welcome-home party for her. When Anička's mother comes home, she walks in amazement through an espalier of children into an apartment full of flowers. Her parents are quite busy with the baby and forget about Anička a little. Father Čejka realised that one morning when Anička walks him to work and they talk on the way.
