Jimmy’s family had moved into a new home.
Jimmy was delighted to be surrounded by the adorable furniture and lots of toys.
Outside, it was snowing. ..Just then,
Jimmy spotted a girl with a puppy dashing around on the ice.
Jimmy immediately took a great liking to this girl.
That’s because she was smiling in the most charming way.
Jimmy worked up his courage and called out to her.
When he did, the girl noticed Jimmy,
and waved him over, as if to say, “Come here, come here!”
Jimmy was so pleased that he started running.
But, to his surprise, there was a pitfall under the snow.
“Oww! Wah!” Jimmy started crying in pain.
But then, the girl reached down her hand from the top of the hole.
When Jimmy saw her cute smile, he soon forgot all about the pain.
Jimmy said to the girl, “Let’s play.”
But the girl just smiled at him, and didn’t answer.
The girl could not hear, so she didn’t know what he said.
Jimmy wanted somehow to convey his feelings,
so he ran,
and fell down,
and played in the snow,
and laughed,
and the girl did what Jimmy was doing.
Jimmy was very happy.
He didn't yet know her name,
but he felt somehow that the two of them would get along very well.
That evening, Jimmy told his mom what had happened.
His mom told him that the girl’s name was Chavvot.
As Jimmy drank his hot cocoa,
he kept repeating, “Chavvot, Chavvot,” again and again.
“Someday, I’ll convey my feelings to her,”
he promised to the stars in the night sky.
