A new kid named Sam sat alone at lunch for three days. Pip noticed and wanted to fix it right away. He bounced over and asked six questions in a row. Sam answered none of them and looked at the table. The next day a quiet kid named Nia sat down beside Sam without saying anything and slid over half her apple. They ate in silence. On the third day, Sam was the one who spoke first.
