Hosea a ten year old Haitian lives with his family. Their house is made out of bamboo and grass that is dried, thcir mother can not afford a modem home. A scream of terror and weeping came from Hosea's hut. As he ran in he found his mother weeping, as he walked closer he saw his little broth- er's naked body in his mother's arms. "Is he dead Ma -ma?" said Ho- sea in•a terrified voice. "Yes Too - Too is dead. " said his mother be- tween sobs. The next day Hosea and his ten brothers and nine sisters set out for the fruit tree grove which contained bananas, coconuts, oranges, avoca- dos, mangos and breadfruit. As they ran through the jungle suddenly his oldest brother stopped. "Danger tree frog see" said Antonio who was fif- teen. "Oh! how sickening can you get" said Leiontyne. All of a sudden the frog leaped toward them. "Run" yelled Hosea frantically. They reached the fruit tree grove gasping for air. After they caught their breath they collected all the fruit they could carry and got home just before dusk. Hosea I got a letter for you to- day", said his mother. "Ma -ma what is a compassion par- ent" said Hosea to his mother. "A compassion parent is a person who sends you money, letters and loves you" said his mother. "Wow! far out" said Antonio. Three months later Josea saved up enough money to buy a huge Christmas gift for the whole family. Snow by Allison Hodgins Biddulph-Lucas Gr. 5 Snow falling floating around whirling twisting hard and small nakey snow went to Haiti to give his sympa- thy. Jim didn't stop writing, because he had a unbreakable love to Ho- sea and his family, and he didn't stop giving the family money. He even bought the family a tombstone and engraved on it was "Hosea Yan born} in 1977, Died 1987" Hosea mother thanked Ji- mand left for Canada. On Christmas morn in the big city you could have seen Hosea's family in a big group hug. For Christmas Hosea bought a modern home. It was miracle that so little wel! maybe it didn't seem like that little does so much. Then Hosea wrote his compassion parent for the last time: Dear, Jim. Thank you for your love and letters and money. For Christ- mas I bought the family a new house. Please write soon. Love Hosea A few months later Hosea died from malaria, and his mother wrote Jim Banks one letter that said: Dear Mr. Banks Hosea died of malaria on February 27, 1987. You don't have to send money anymore. Thank you. Mrs. Yan As soon as Jim got the letter he Miracle by Cathy Roestenberg St. Pat's - Grade 6 Once upon a time there was a boy who did not believe in Christmas or Santa Claus. He was an unhappy boy and he did not have a family or friends. At times he was an angry boy. He did not have anybody to care for'him or to love him. One day he met a nice kind man. The gentle man took care for the little boy and gave him lots of love. • In time the boy learned about love. And he learned to give and to help and to share. Now he became a happy friendly boy and he had lots of friends to play with now. And now he be- lieved in Christmas and Santa Claus. Christmas is Here! By Crystal Hopkins Hensall P.s.
