l. you shall hear about the very first
Christmas day.
1t was in n country across the sea,
far away from here, that some shep-
herds were watching their fiocks one
night. The sheep were resting on the
grass. the little lambs were fast asleep
beside their mothers. but the kind shep-
herds were not asleep. They were
watching that no harm should happen
to the sheep.
Perhaps they were looking up at the
stars and the beautiful moon above
them when suddenly there appeared a
