Vincent had moved into a new neighbourhood. He was a shy boy and hesitated to make new friends. However, his neighbour, Katie was a friendly girl. She brought a box of cookies for Vincent and introduced herself. Vincent was so embarrassed that he ran away without thanking Katie for the cookies. “I am sorry, dear. Vincent is very shy. But thanks for the cookies,” said his mother, and she took the box. After that Katie tried many more times to befriend Vincent but he either ran away or just smiled. One day, Vincent’s father said, “We are going to the zoo.” When Vincent ran out to his car, he was surprised to see Katie and her parents, too. “We will all go together,” said Vincent’s father with a smile. At the zoo, the children saw many animals together. But when they saw a funny monkey, they started laughing. Soon, Vincent became friendly towards Katie and from then on, they both started playing together.
