Little Billy was amongst the most quiet boys in school. He never responded to any of the teacher's question but his homework was always quite good. If any one said anything to him he would simply nod, or shake his head. The staff thought this was due to shyness and decided to do something to raise his confidence.
"Billy," said his teacher.
"I've just bet Miss Fazzino $5 I can get you to say three words. You can have half."
Billy looked at her mischieviously and said, "You lose."
