Lucy Lego’s Christmas
Ordeal
The big tub said 1000 legos.
But nobody bothered to count.
Among the lego blocks were some lego people. Lucy was one of them. She was a happy lego little girl. She loved to play with the children and had
as much fun as they did.
The children received the 1000 legos for Christmas and liked
to play under the Christmas tree with them.
Particularly nice, was when all the lights in the room were turned
off, except the Christmas tree lights.
Lucy Lego’s eyes sparkled with the reflection of the lights.
She was a favorite of the children because there weren’t any
other child legos. There were her
parents, and a lego dog and a lego cat.
Sometimes the children would fight over her. This frightened Lucy because their Mother
said that she would take Lucy Lego and throw her away, if the fighting didn’t
stop.
But the fighting didn’t stop. One little boy was mean, and refused to
share. This made the little brother cry, and the other children called him a “cry
baby.”
Mother came in the room and picked up Lucy Lego, and made
the children pick up all the other 999 legos.
The cover was put on the lego tub, and Lucy Lego was carried away. Everyone was sent to bed.
Lucy Lego cried too.
Any minute she expected the Mother to throw her away in the waste
basket. But she didn’t. Mother put Lucy Lego in an empty sugar bowl
in a cupboard.
If Lucy Lego weren’t so confused and worried, she would have
noticed that she was saved. She wasn’t
discarded with the trash, at all. She
was in a safe place. The cupboard wasn’t
so bad. She could hear the family and
the children. Once in a while, when the
cupboard was opened, she could even get a peak outside. The sugar bowl was
pretty and cozy.
The twelfth day after Christmas, Grandma was coming over for
dinner. The cupboard was opened and the
best dishes were taken out, along with the creamer and sugar bowl. Mother took Lucy Lego out of the sugar bowl
and dropped her into an apron pocket.
After dinner, the children went to play under the tree, as
usual. The Father gathered the children
around himself, and told the children the story of the three Magi, following
the Star of David, to find the promised baby, Jesus. The three Magi brought gifts for the new born
baby. And to carry on that tradition of
gift giving, Father gave the children a big box of crayons. Grandma gave the children a music box that
played Silent Night. And Mother gave the
children Lucy Lego.
The screams of delight echoed Merry Christmas!
