You Are My Little Joy

The principal of a school for deaf and mute children has devoted his quiet life to the school and its students. He occasionally passes the time by birdwatching, fishing, or playing chess, and has a detached temperament. Who would have thought a lively young girl would burst into his life, making a fool of herself in front of him, annoying and exasperating him, yet also making him smile? The young girl has arrived! No matter how unshakable you are, she’ll come up with every kind of scheme until you surrender. At our first meeting, I felt a fondness for you, though we were complete strangers; At our first meeting, you were the joy of my springtime world.
