From the Christ Child
Just think, I have seen the Christ Child! It came out of the forest, the little cap full of snow, with frozen nose. The little hands ached, because it was carrying a bag, which was so heavy, trailed and clattered after him - what was inside, you want to know? Your nose way, you rogue Pack - do you think he would open the bag? Course bundles up to the top! But something beautiful was certainly in there: It smelled so of apples and nuts!
