The new student bashfully told a joke

Once there was a little boy who was at school for the first time. He was incredibly nervous, as he didn't know anybody and was unsure how to make friends. In an attempt to break the ice, he mustered up the courage to tell a joke to his classmates.

With a bashful smile, he said, "Why don't skeletons fight each other?"

Curious, his classmates eagerly asked, "Why?"

The new student hesitated for a brief moment before answering, "Because they don't have the guts!"

The classroom erupted in laughter, and the tension was suddenly broken. The new student felt a wave of relief and happiness wash over him as his classmates started to warm up to him.

From that moment on, the new student realized that a simple joke could bridge gaps and bring people together. And even though he was still shy, he slowly began to open up and make friends throughout the school year.
