Jennie’s Hat

A new hat!
Jennie’s favourite aunt
promised to send her one as a present.
Jennie waited,
and dreamed,
and waited.
Shutting her eyes, she sighed,
«It’ll be big,
and flowery,
and oh-
so very beautiful.»

Jennie’s aunt is sending her a hat, and Jennie can hardly wait. «It’ll be big, and flowery, and oh-so very beautiful», she tells herself happily. But when the box comes, the hat inside is very plain. What can Jennie do to make her hat truly special?

«The most joyful book you will see for many a spring.»
