<|im_start|>assistant
- Sheldon the turtle is very shy
- He goes to school every day but doesn't make friends
- Whenever someone approaches him or a teacher calls on him, he retreats into his shell
- His parents tell him that he needs to be brave and try to talk to new people
- It's hard for Sheldon and he can't seem to be brave
- He doesn't know why but his heart always starts racing when he's supposed to talk to people
- One day, Sheldon gets a new teacher
- When Sheldon goes into his shell one day, the new teacher talks to him after class
- He is nice and understanding and is able to slowly coax Sheldon into a conversation
- He tells Sheldon that just trying, again and again, is the best way to get more comfortable in social situations
- The two bond and Sheldon gets comfortable talking to him
- One day, Sheldon gets called on and comes out of his shell to squeak a little answer
- He gets called again the next day and he does a little bit better
- One day, Sheldon makes a friend in class
- Sheldon goes home happy and realizes that he's doing better and he is proud of himself<|im_end|>
