Jonah
would never forget how he managed to overcome his shyness and make new friends
all because of the timely advice he had followed a month ago. He remembered
that day clearly.
The
bell for the break resounded through the corridors at Glendale School. Instead
of heading to the canteen like the other children did, Jonah fled to the
library. He pushed open the door and headed for the nearest bookshelf. Other
than the noise of the air-conditioner, the library was quiet and there was
barely a soul in sight. Far in a comer, he spotted the librarian, who seemed
too busy shelving some books to pay any attention to him. The windows to the
library looked out to the canteen. Jonah could hear children laughing and
chatting. He wished he was outside playing with some friends but he did not let
this bother him.
Suddenly,
Jonah heard a sound in the corner. He turned around and saw the librarian
walking towards him. "Hi, I'm Mrs. Lim." she greeted him with a
smile.
"Um...hi,
I'm Jonah," Jonah said, his face flushed red with embarrassment.
"Why
are you reading here when you could be playing with your friends instead?"
"Uh..."
Jonah looked around the library, avoiding her gaze. He did not want Mrs Lim to
know the real reason he was in the library. She had the same look in her eyes
as Jonah's father during the quiet car rides home from school. Jonah was
helplessly tight-lipped whenever his father asked whom he had played or eaten
with at school. From his silence, Jonah's father knew he was lonely. It was not
that Jonah did not have any friends. They all just happened to live really far
away. Jonah would stay up late at night chatting on the computer with his old
friends from his previous school. Somehow, it made him feel close to them
despite the distance. Tasered to this new school, Jonah found it difficult to
make new friends. Everyone seemed to have different interests and their own
circle of friends.

"I
know how you feel," Mrs. Lim said gently, as if she could read Jonah's
mind.
……
In
the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah's class was picking up
something on the floor.
答案: "I know how you feel." Mrs. Lim said gently, as if she could read Jonah's mind. Jonah was surprised as he had not expected a total stranger to sense his loneliness. Mrs. Lim added, "I can see it in your face. You look lonely." Jonah sighed, not knowing what to do next. "Just say hello to someone today," she encouraged, "I promise they'll respond. Once you've made the first move, it just gets easier." Mrs. Lim obviously did not understand how challenging that was going to be for him, Jonah thought. But still he appreciated the advice and thanked her before making his way out of the library. In the hallway outside the library, a boy from Jonah's class was picking up something on the floor. Pens, pencils, and highlighters had dropped out of his pencil case. Fighting the urge to just walk away, Jonah leaned down and picked up a few pens. Then, he remembered what Mrs. Lim had advised him. "Hello, I'm Jonah. Let me help you," he offered. The boy looked up at him. "Thank you. My name is Ruben." Victory at last, Jonah thought, feeling proud of himself.
