I do not remember which story coined the phrase "I love you" but it
entailed a young boy and a young girl riding down on a sled together
and the wind was so loud that the young girl never heard the boy say
"I love you" in her ear.  I think the story might have been written by
Checkov but I'm not sure.  Thanks in advance for any help!
