Dejected person enters and sits down on the floor, dejected. Soon, three others enter and see him. "He looks like he needs a hug." Pause. "You do it." "I don't wanna hug him. You do it." "I don't wanna do it." "Why not?" "He might not hug me back." "Well, you won't know until you hug him." "Well, he won't hug me back!" "Okay, lets go then." The three of them leave.
