Sample Story:

Clip---clop---clip---clop, went Small Donkey’s hooves as he s-l-o-w-l-y climbed the last hill. Mary rode on Small Donkey’s back. Joseph walked by Small Donkey’s side. Mary and Joseph were very, very tired. Small Donkey was tired too. They had come a long, long way. From the top of the hill, O happy sight, they saw the lights of Bethlehem! Joseph walked faster now. Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop, hurried Small Donkey, down the hill, through the gate, into the little town, where they would rest and sleep. At the inn, Joseph asked for a room. "We have no room," said the innkeeper. "Is there no place where we can sleep?" asked Joseph. "Only in the stable. . . . I am sorry." Joseph led Small Donkey toward the stable. He opened the creaky old door. He held up the lantern the innkeeper gave him, and looked around inside. He saw Spotted Cow, and Woolly Lamb, and stalls that were empty. In one empty stall he tied Small Donkey. In another he made a bed of straw for Mary and himself. Soon they were fast asleep. During the night the most wonderful thing happened -- Baby Jesus was born! Joseph filled a manger with clean new hay. Mary wrapped the baby in soft white cloth, and laid Him in the manger. The animals seemed pleased about Baby Jesus. Spotted Cow mooed softly, Woolly Lamb tinkled his bell, and Small Donkey looked and looked. That night, in a field near the little town, shepherds were guarding their sheep. Suddenly a bright light, as bright as the sun, shone all around them. The shepherds were afraid and covered their faces. The sheep were afraid and huddled together. "Don’t be afraid," said a kind, gentle voice. The shepherds uncovered their faces. They saw an angel, all glowing with light. Said the angel, "I bring you good tidings of great joy! Jesus, your Saviour, is born. You will find Him lying in a manger." Then the sky was filled with shining angels singing the glory song -- "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." ================= And the story continues about the shepherds, the Wise Men, and Joseph and Mary's escape into Egypt with Baby Jesus!
