　　“Katy, get your books. It's time to go to school.”said Mum.“But I don't like to.”Katy said.“Well, go and have fun.”Mum told her. When Katy got to school, some children asked her to play with them. She really wanted to, but she was too shy to say yes. That night when Katy got home she wasn't happy, so she went straight to her room to play with hex friend Jimmy the Tiger. She told Jimmy about her shyness（害羞）and Jimmy told her,“Tomorrow at school, I will help you, and you will feel good about talking to other children.”The next morning, after breakfast, she left home to catch a bus as usual, but this time with Jimmy. On the bus, Jimmy started telling Katy how he was going to help her to talk to other children. When the bus arrived at school, Katy jumped off and ran to her classroom to put the books away. Then she ran outside. But suddenly she stopped.“I can't go over and ask to play with them!!!”“Go!”said Jimmy. As she was walking over to the children, a girl said to her,“Hey, Katy, do you want to play with us?”Katy said,“Yes, I would love to.”She was so happy. From that day on she loved going to school. And now she is happy to go to school alone, without Jimmy the Tiger.
