My Shy Friend
by Jordan

Hi, my name is Craig and I have a friend but he is very shy. He doesn't talk to anyone. My friends call me weird because he is different. He is not a regular kid. His name is Woody and he is a piece of wood. Woody and I go everywhere together: to the movies, Disney World, to the park...everywhere. Woody doesn't talk a lot. He only talks to me. The kids at school call me names like weirdo. But I don't mind because Woody is my friend and if they have a problem with that, well they can't be my friend. One day Woody and I were at school and the kids were making fun of me and Woody. Woody yelled out, "Stop it! I am sick of being called names and Craig is sick of being called names." The kids stopped, dropped to the ground, screamed in fear and said, "Ah, ah, ah, he's real?" "Of course," said Craig. And the kids said, "Oh my gosh!" And then Craig said, "I told you so." From then on the kids never made fun of Craig and Woody again.
