"Who will be my valentine?" Caroline wondered.
She needed to choose soon—Valentine's Day was the next day!
"Maybe I should choose Tommy," she thought.
"Or perhaps I should choose Tyler!"
"Put your books away.
It's time for art," Miss Smith said to the whole class.
"Today we are making Valentine's cards."
"Tommy or Tyler, who will it be," wondered Caroline.
"Maybe if I cut out a big red heart, my heart will help me choose."
Caroline cut out a red paper heart.
When she finished, the heart began to hum.
Then, it jumped up and began to sing, "I am your Valentine's heart.
I am really smart!
Write a poem to the one you love the best.
And I will sing, dance, and do the rest!"
Caroline wrote her poem.
It was lovely and sweet, but she still didn't know who to give her Valentine's Day heart to.
Caroline added white lace and a small red bow to her heart.
Her heart looked pretty, but still she wondered, "Tommy or Tyler, who should I choose?
Who will receive my Valentine's Day heart?"
The next day was Valentine's Day—February 14!
The classroom was decorated in pink and white.
The children giggled happily.
"Now it is time to give your Valentine's heart away," said Miss Smith.
Miss. Smith had hung a red curtain in the classroom.
She separated the boys and girls.
Each stood on a different side of the curtain.
Caroline's heart beat as she stepped to her side of the curtain.
She still had not chosen her valentine.
Then to her surprise, her Valentine's Day heart began to spell out a name.
Letters appeared on her heart and spelled out "T–y–l–e–r."
"Tyler! Come and be my Valentine," called Caroline.
Tyler sprang from behind the red curtain.
Caroline gave him a hug and her Valentine's Day heart.
All day Caroline and Tyler sat together.
At recess Tyler pushed Caroline on the swing.
And the Valentine's Day heart sang, "Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day, what a happy day to play!
I really hope to hear you say, 'I love you,' on this happy Valentine's Day!"
