her mother was sick. She could
not have any Christmas tree and
toys this year. She was very sad
The girls in her Sunday school
class bought a Christmas tree and

was. She was astonished when
she saw the Christmas tree. She
was happy after that and so were
her friends, to think they had made
her happier on Christmas day

spection. Probably the other boys
are brighter than you. God made
them so and you cannot help that.
