It didn't take me long to read this short story.  Dash repairs and repaints the carousel horses each year after they are subjected to graffiti.  One night Merry shows up and she ends up taking shelter in the barn where Dash is working.  They are wary of eachother at first but then Merry starts helping Dash and they become friends.  Dash has a harness of silver bells but he has recently been unable to hear the bells jingle, while Merry can still hear them.  There is a twist of sorts in the story so I won't give it away, but Dash and Merry are both granted a wish from Santa at the end.  It seemed to end a bit quickly and left me wanting more of the story and background on both characters.  This was a very sweet story of love and hope mixed in with the reality of life.At the time I downloaded this ebook to my kindle it was being offered for free on amazon, which in no way affected my review of this short story.
