Little Benny went across the street to introduce himself to Jessica. When Jessica saw his face, she knew that it was Benny. She shook his hand and said, “Hi, Benny. I’ve seen you in the paper.”
When Benny saw Jessica, he thought, “This looks like the girl I have been dreaming about. I dreamed about her, and now I’m seeing her.”
Jessica went on to talk and said, “I know that you are not crazy. You have seen Cigar, and I have seen him too in my dreams.”
Benny just starred at Jessica and thought, “She’s a dreamer too.” Then Benny said, “Yea, and I have seen you in my dreams.”
Jessica saw the hat that she had made that was given to Benny. She said, “You have a gift, Benny.” Jessica was not talking about the hat being the gift. She knew there was something spiritual about Little Benny. Jessica knew also that her father had given Benny the hat. She knew that her father had the same gift as she did, and he thought it was the hat.
Benny said to Jessica, “Everybody in town thinks I’m crazy.”
Jessica said, “I know you’re not. I’ll talk to you about it later. I’ve got some places to go. It’s nice to meet you.” Jessica got into her car and drove off. Benny was left standing in hope.
