Once there was a little girl named Maria. She was very shy and every day she went to her friend's house to play.
One day, Maria asked her friend, "Do you want to go to the park?" Her friend said, "Yes, let's go now!"
So they both ran to the park, laughing and playing the whole way. When they got to the park, they saw a big blank wall. They thought that it would be fun to mail something to it, so Maria ran home to get a drawing she had made.
When she came back, they both taped the drawing to the wall and smiled. They felt very proud of their work. 
The next day, Maria brought something else to mail to the wall. Her mom had made her a card with a message on it. It said, "We are all connected, even if we are shy". 
Maria and her friend smiled. They felt happy that they had found a special way to stay connected, even though they were shy.
