Santa
Claus Does Not Forget
by M.A. Haley
Bertie was a very good boy. He was kind, obedient,
truthful, and unselfish. But, he had one great fault,—he always forgot.
No
matter how important the task, his answer always was, "I forgot."
His
father and mother talked about this problem and decided that they should do
something to make Bertie remember.
Christmas
was near, and Bertie was busy making out a list of things which Santa Claus
was to bring him.
"Santa
Claus may forget some of those things," said his mother.
"He
cannot," replied Bertie; " I want skates, and drum, and violin,
and all the things on this paper. Then when Santa Claus goes to my stocking
he will find the list. He can see it and put the things in as fast as he
reads."
Christmas
morning came, and Bertie was up at dawn to see what was in his stocking. His
mother stay away from him as long as she could, for she knew what Santa
Claus had done.
Bertie
got surprised of what he found. No smile on his face as he went to find his
mom.
In his
hand, there’s a list very much longer
than the one he had made out. "See what Santa Claus left for me...”
His tears rolled down.
His
mother opened the roll. It was a list of all Bertie tasks had been asked to
do for six months. At the end of all was written, in capitals, "I
FORGOT." Bertie cried for an hour.
“Let’s
go to grandpa’s house. Let’s pray something good will happen there.” his
mother mother said.
It was
very strange to Bertie, but on grandpa's tree, he found everything he had
written on his list. Was he forgiven for his bad habit?
“I won’t forget to do my task again,
then..." he said when his mother came sitting next to him. She smiled
gently and replied “Remember, Santa
Claus does not forget.”
