It was a week until Christmas, and Roger and his family were waiting for Santa without a Christmas tree,without anything to eat because they were very poor. His father died last year and his mom remained unemployed with four children, Roger being the oldest one.
One morning, Roger decided to do anything possible for his little brothers so they can spend the Christmas like everybody. With a Christmas tree, Christmas gifts and a tasty dinner. He went to Mr. Smith’s house and asked him if he wants him to clean his alley of snow. Mr. Smith was a lonely and very rich man. But he was very hunks. He rejected Roger and told him that he doesn’t need him to do that. Roger left very disappointed.
Every night, Roger and his little brothers say a prayer to God, asking a “Wonderful Christmas”. They wanted Santa to come so hard, that they wrote a letter to him, every day. But they didn’t asked toys and candies. They asked a Christmas tree and something to eat, to spend the Christmas like everybody.
A few days after, Mr. Smith was walking through the city, and saw Roger cleaning someone else’s alley. He approached him and asked why is he doing this. Roger, with tears in his eyes, told him the entire story and Mr. Smith understood that he made a mistake. He recalled Roger next morning to his house. Roger didn’t understood why, but he was so curious that he went. Mr. Smith told him that it’s not necessary to clean the alley but he will give him and his family everything they need to have a “Wonderful Christmas”.
Roger was so happy that he started to jump and sing all around the house. Mr. Smith was so full of joy and realized that a Christmas spent alone is a lost holiday. So, he decided to call Roger and his family at his house to take the Christmas dinner.
It was Christmas Eve, and Mr. Smith with the 4 kids adorned the Christmas tree. Leah, the children’s mom looked at they, and understood what Christmas means in her kids life.
After the Christmas dinner, the kids went to bed waiting for Santa. Sleeping, Roger dreamed that he met Santa and he sad that this was the first Christmas with a real Christmas tree and a big dinner in many following. Next morning, he woke up, and went downstairs and found lots of gifts and his brothers very happy Mr. Smith opening the presents.
