time ago I read this story and I loved, today I searched and I'd like to share with you. Hope you like:
- Papa?
- Yes, my child, tell me.
- Hey, I want ... tell me the truth.
- Sure, dear. Whenever I say it will, "replied the father a little surprised.
- is that ... Cristina hesitated.
- Tell me, daughter, tell me.
- Dad, there are the Magi?
Cristina's father was speechless, looked at his wife, trying to discover the origin of that question, but could only see a face like yours so surprised that he looked well.
- Girls say they are parents. Is it true?
Cristina The new question was forced to look back and swallowing the girl said - What do you think, child?
- I do not know, Dad, yes and no. On one hand I think so that there because you do not fool me, but as the girls say that.
- Look, daughter, actually it is the parents who put the gifts but ...
- So is not it, cut the girl with wet eyes. I have cheated!
- No, look, we have never cheated because the Kings do exist, "said the father with his two hands grabbing the face of Cristina.
- then do not understand. Dad.
- Sit down, honey, and listen to this story I'll tell you because it's time you can understand "Said the father, pointing with his hand the seat beside him. Cristina
sat between her parents anxious to hear anything that deliver him from his course, and his father started to tell him that he must be the true story of the Magi:
- When the Baby Jesus was born Three Kings who came from the East guided by a star approached the Portal to worship. Brought gifts as a token of love and respect, and Child was so happy and seemed so happy that the eldest of the Kings, Melchior, said
- is wonderful to see a child so happy! We should bring gifts to all children in the world and see how happy be.
- Oh, yeah! "Said Gaspar. It's a good idea, but it is very difficult to do. We will not be able to bring gifts to so many millions like in the world.
Balthasar, the third of the Kings, who was listening to his two companions with a happy face, said: - It is true that would be great, but Gaspar's right and although we are magicians, we are already old and we would be very difficult to travel the world delivering gifts to all children. But it would be so nice.
Three Kings were very sad to think that they could not fulfill their desire. And the Child Jesus, from his poor crib seemed to listen very closely, smiled, and God's voice was heard in the Portal: - You are very good, dear Reyes, and thank you for your gifts. I will help you make your beautiful desire. Tell me: What you need to bring gifts to all children?
- Oh, Lord! "Said the three kings on his knees. We would need millions and millions of pages, almost one for every child who could carry while our gifts to each house, but. we can not have so many pages., there are many.
- Do not worry about that, "said God. I'll give you not one but two pages for each child in the world.
- It would be great! But how is this possible? "They said while the three Kings with a look of surprise and admiration.
- Tell me, is not it true that the pages that you would like to be very fond of children? Asked God.
- Yes, of course, that is fundamental, attended by three kings.
- And how true that these pages should be very familiar with the wishes of children?
- Yes, yes. That's what I would demand to a page, more and more excited responded three.
- So tell me, dear Reyes: Is there anyone who wants more children and more aware than their parents? Three Kings looked nodding and starting to understand what God was planning, when the voice again was heard:
- Since they have wished and in the name of the Three Kings of Orient all children the world receive some gifts, I, ordered that at Christmas, commemorating the moment, all parents become your pages, and in your name, and your party gifts to their children the gifts they want. Also ordered that, while children are small, the giving of gifts is made as if the Kings do themselves. But when children are old enough to understand this, parents will tell this story and thereafter, at every Christmas, children will also gifts to their parents as a token of affection. And, around Bethlehem, remember that thanks to the Three Kings are all happier.
When Cristina's father had finished telling this story, the girl stood up and giving a kiss to her parents said - Now I understand all dad. And I'm very happy that I want and not have me fooled.
and running, went to her room, returning with his piggy bank in hand saying: - I do not know if I'll have enough to buy you a gift, but for next year and keep more money.
