JESSE’S SECRET
LE SECRET DE JESSE
JUST IMAGINE
CHILDREN’S STORIES / HISTOIRES POUR ENFANTS
Jesse loved to dance. Dancing was Jesse’s big secret. In fact, Jesse had kept his love for dancing so well hidden that not even his mom and dad knew how much he loved to dance.
Jesse would rush to his room after school, shut the door, put on his Walkman, and dance. He would dance until his face was beet red. He would dance until his legs felt like jelly. He would dance until his mom called him for supper.
***
Jesse avait un grand secret: il aimait danser. En effet, il avait si bien caché son amour pour la danse que sa mère et son père ne connaissaient même pas son secret.
Chaque jour après l’école, Jesse se hâtait vers sa chambre; il fermait sa porte, allumait son baladeuret dansait. Il dansait jusqu’à ce que son visage devienne rouge comme une tomate. Il dansait jusqu’au moment où il sentait que ses jambes allaient se transformer en gelée. Il dansait jusqu’au moment où sa mère l’appelait pour le souper.
