| Sandy began a job as an elementary
school counselor and she was eager to help. One day during
recess she noticed a girl standing by herself on one side
of a playing field while the rest of the kids enjoyed a
game of soccer at the other.
Sandy approached and asked if she was all right.
The girl said she was.
A little while later, however, Sandy noticed the girl was
in the same spot, still by herself.
Approaching again, Sandy offered, "Would you like me
to be your friend?"
The girl hesitated, and then said, "Okay," looking
at the woman suspiciously.
Feeling she was making progress, Sandy then asked, "Why
are you standing here all alone?" "Because,"
the little girl said with great exasperation, "I'm
the goalie!"
