A CHRISTMAS EVE UNDER THE OLD OAK TREE
Marygrey had waited a very long time for thearrival of her babies. But babies cannot be rushed into the worldand take their own time in coming. Say what you will, or wish ashard as you want, it will do no good at all, especially rabbitbabies. They come when they have a good mind to. Marygrey’s babieshad waited until Christmas Eve. Basil, the wild rabbit, was thefather-to-be of Marygrey’s babies, and he had been constantlyrunning in and asking were the babies here yet and how much longerwas it going to be, until Marygrey said, “Basil, my dearest, OldAgnes is here with me, so you don’t have to worry. When they arriveshe will run out right away and tell you they are here. Please goand wait for Santa with the others and when you see him, come andtell me.”
There are certain things that every animal,wild or tame, knows to be true. But the thing they know to be thetruest of the true is that Santa Claus comes on Christmas Eve. Yes,Santa brings presents to every animal on earth, just as he bringstoys to all the children of the earth. You may wonder how Santa hastime in one night to bring all those presents. There are a lot ofanimals on earth, too. Well, the answer is quite simple. TimeStands Still on Christmas Eve! Not one minute on the clock ticksby, after Santa leaves the North Pole, until all the presents aredelivered to every child and every animal everywhere.
