Too Shy

A boy had a crush on a girl at school. Every day his eyes would follow
her wistfully, but he was so timid he couldn't work up the courage to
speak to her.

"Every time I open my mouth," he told his best friend, "I get so
embarrassed that I wish I could shrink down into a tiny pebble!"

"I know how you feel," his friend responded. "But if you really want to
talk to her, you'll just have to be a little boulder!"
