It is shortly before Christmas

It is shortly before Christmas. Fritz goes to church.

He takes the Holy Mary out of the manger.

The priest watches him. The next day Fritz comes to church again.

This time he takes out the Holy Joseph.

The priest watches him again. The next day Fritz comes to church again.

This time he puts a note in the manger. The priest takes it out and reads it. It says:

“Dear Christ Child, if I don’t get a Gameboy this year, you will never see your parents again.”
