When Ronnie moves to a new house, in a new country, he's excited to make friends. But when he introduces himself to everyone at nursery - My name is four. I am Ronnie years old. - the other children can't help but giggle.
His words are all mixed up!
Ronnie misses home and laughing with his old friends. But new doesn't stay that way for long...
