Once, there was a chestnut-seller. His name was Mr. Kepler. Everyone waited anxiously for Mr. Kepler, for he brought hot chestnuts for everyone. But there was something strange about him. Nobody had ever seen him smile. Maybe this was because he had no family or to call anyone his own. One day, as usual, when Mr. Kepler was going to sell his chestnuts, he saw something on the snow. He looked closer and saw that there was a tiny, little kitten, half dead with cold! The kind Mr. Kepler brushed away the snow and picked up the poor kitten. Then, holding the kitten close to him, he put the kitten inside his coat and took it home. And after that day, he always smiled! Now he had a friend to take care of.
