Christmas Stories
A Brother Like That
Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it.
"Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.
Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that."

"Oh yes, I'd love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow,
said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
"There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His
brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a
cent. And some day I'm gonna give you one just like it...then you
can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas
windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his
car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the
three of them began a memorable holiday ride.
That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what Jesus meant when he had said: "It is more blessed to give..."
