The wind lashed at the treetops and strained at the trunks. The snow was thick but still two small figures ploded through its deepest and heaviest masses. They, seemed lost and not sure where to go. As they wandered one yelled to the other, "We must find a place to stay quickly or we will freeze in .the cold ! " The other one seemed to nod in recogni- tion and soon he pointed ahead And tried to shout over the howelling wind. Ahead of them, lay a small wood cabin with wood pil- ed high against the side. They trudged for the door tripping and falling into the white fluffiness. As they banged loudly on the door, snow slid off the roof and practically. buried them.. When the door opened a small, little gray head stuck out and the children scrambled to their feet: They asked quite politely if they might stay until the storm blew over. Strangely the old man did nothing but swing open the door and go back to his chair. May the magic of Christmas bless one and all with the spirit of brotherhood and unity.

They took off their heavy boots and set them by the door. The undid their scarves -and shuffled up to the fireplace. Tney all said nothing until the old man blurted out, "I don't have no Christmas .dinner for you's to eat, just porridge." He set out three bowls and spooned each one full. The children got up and came to the table.. They all sat down and the children stared at the man as he began eating right away. "Well don't goch at me," grouched the Man, "eat up before it gets cold." The kids cleared the table when they were done and scurried outside to get some wood. As they piled the wood in the fireplace they looked up and for the first time theman was smiling. When they were finished they sat at the table and soon the man was telling all his old hunting stories. They laughed together and in the end that .was the best Christmas the three had ever had.
