Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!

How beautiful
I always promised myself that when I won the lottery I would buy myself some extant gowns to put on display in my dressing room.

As it neared the top of the grade, it went more slowly. However, it still kept saying, "I—think—I—can, I—think—I—can." It reached the top by drawing on bravery and then went on down the grade, congratulating itself by saying, "I thought I could, I thought I could."
