Michael is very shy and has low self-esteem because he is missing an eye, and his poor parents could only afford a wooden false eye. He doesn't have many friends, and he's terrified of girls, although there is one girl he has his eye on. Her name is Betsy, and she has a hair-lip. The school dance is coming up in a few days, and it seems like absolutely everyone has a date. Everyone, that is, except for him and Betsy. It takes him quite awhile, but finally he works up the courage to approach her.тАж
