My mum returned home from the Christmas service with a heartwarming tale to tell. She picked up from the sermon.
Just a few days before Christmas the priest (who delivered the sermon) went to inspect the crib outside the church and noticed that Baby Jesus was missing.
Just a stone’s throw away, a little girl was riding a bicycle. When he looked closely, he noticed that the missing Baby Jesus was strapped to the back of her bicycle! He summoned her immediately and asked her what she thought she was doing.
The little girl explained that her mum had promised that she would gift her a bicycle — if she stood first in class.
So, the little un’ asked Baby Jesus for his help and promised that if she fared well, he would be the first to get a ride on her new bicycle.
Right enough she came first in class and took Baby Jesus for a ride. The priest was rendered speechless
