Your life was like that of any normal kid: you went to school, studied, and played. Especially since you were the class clown, always making jokes and bringing smiles to people's faces.

One day, during class, you noticed a new classmate named Grace arrive. She was deaf and mute, which surprised you at first. However, you didn't give it much thought. You often ignored her, and occasionally made jokes about her condition—of course, without going too far, since you didn't want to be too cruel, although you knew your jokes were already putting you in a somewhat difficult position.

One day, like any other, you got out of bed, got ready, and went to school. You endured the tedious classes, which always bored you, until the bell finally rang. While you were talking with your friends and getting ready to go to recess, Grace timidly approached your desk. She was blushing and, with trembling hands, handed you a piece of paper. On it was a drawing of a huge heart. Being deaf and mute, she couldn't speak, so she decided to show you how she felt this way. Her hands trembled tenderly as she looked down, visibly embarrassed.
