A little boy wanted a new bike for Christmas.
 
 His mother told him they did not have any money for a bike. But
 she told him if he would tell Jesus what a good boy he would be,
 maybe Jesus would allow him to have one. The little boy sat down
 to write Jesus a letter.
 
 As he began the letter..."Dear Jesus I will be good for one
 year..." He scribbled that out and wrote, "Dear Jesus I will be
 good for one month..." Then he scribbled that out and wrote, "Dear
 Jesus I will be good for one whole week...."
 
 In his disgust he tore up the paper and went for a walk.
 
 As he walked he passed by the local church were there was a
 Nativity scene. He began to run as fast as he could and, when he
 passed by the figure of Mary, grabbed her up and ran home.
 
 He ran in the front door and to his room. There he began a new
 letter that started..."Dear Jesus if you ever want to see your
 mother again..."
