It was Christmas time, and the
at the
were sorting through the
from the children that were addressed to
. And one of the letters really got the
of one of the workers. It said:
Dear Santa Claus,
I've been a good boy all year long but my family is really poor, and if I had a warm
, I would be able to play outside and I'd be able to keep warm at home because the house is really cold, and, if I had
, my
wouldn't get all red and the
wouldn't make fun of me. I'm so embarrassed, the kids always make fun of me and laugh at my red ears. And I wish I had
to keep my hands warm because I have to help my parents get
for the fire and my hands just freeze. If I had a good pair of gloves, I wouldn't be so cold and frozen. And I would really like
too. If I had a video game, I'd be able to talk about it with all the other kids, I'd be so happy.
Merry Santa.
Tommy
This boy sounded so poor and unhappy that the worker went and
sought out his
, and they all decided to give some
, each one gave a dollar, five dollars, ten dollars, and they got about eighty dollars, and bought a nice warm coat for the boy, a nice warm hat and a video game, and they sent it to his house for Christmas.
So after Christmas, they received a letter addressed to Santa Claus from Little Tommy. It said:
Dear Santa Claus,
Thank you for all the wonderful
. I love the warm winter coat. I didn't use to play outside because I was so cold, but now I do and I just love it.
I love
, it's perfect. My ears used to get all red and I used to be so embarrassed when the boys made fun of me, but they don't do that anymore, and I'm really happy.
I also want to thank you for the video game, I used to imagine how great it would be to play and now I know.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the
. I guess those incompetent
at the post-office stole them.
