The Christmas Present

It was time for Christmas and the children were really excited as usual! On the eve of 24th December, Joy, a young girl along with her friends was planning a Christmas Party. They also believed in the tales of Christmas so their plan was to show their beautiful gifts by Santa to each other and have fun on Christmas day. Joy decorated her room and had hung socks for Santa to put the gifts and candies inside. "Woo! everything's set now, Santa would slowly enter our house by the chimney; give me enchanting gifts; then again exit on his sleigh" Joy murmured to herself. But can he give me my...nah!

Joy slept on her bed happily waiting for the next morning. She found many candies in her room but not the special gift, she searched a lot. Finally, she found it below her bed. Her heart was beating fast to open the gift. She unwrapped it and found it to be a normal bouncy doll. She was quite upset, what she thought it to be and what it came out to be!?

It was evening time, time for the party. Everyone had different types of gifts according to their interest but not Joy. One of the friends Suzie encouraged that her gift is unique in itself but Joy wasn't ready to agree. "Why are you just trying to make me feel better?" asked Joy. Suzie told that she would explain all this to her after the party. Then, they played games; had food and enjoyed the Christmas party with so many other friends.

"As you know, we don't have someone to make us emotionally stable and help us inculcate practical values, I mean to say parents!", Suzie exclaimed sorrowfully. "This is the reason why Santa sent you such a gift as you are younger and need to understand certain morals," said Suzie. "So please explain to me about this gift's significance", requested Joy.

"Sure! First of all, the vivid colors represent that we should have a prosperous and vibrant life ahead along with a full personality; secondly, the intricate designs and texture portray that we must work hard and go deep to achieve success and the beauty it has! " Explained Suzie. "Umm... Do you find a peculiarity in the doll?" she asked.

Joy replied, "Yeah, maybe the tumbling nature."

Suzie nodded and said, "You are correct, whenever the doll falls, it tumbles and comes back to its initial position without any help on her own. In the same, when we have any downfall in life, we should try to have a comeback on our own without being dependant."

Joy understood everything Suzie explained and thanked her. She used all these values in her life and was really successful.
