Once, a father had no money. He felt miserable about this. Christmas was coming and he wanted to be able to buy his children something special. He started thinking about what he could give his children. He remembered about a horse that he had as a child. It was a wooden rocking horse. His father had built it for him with his own hands. ‘That is what I am going to do,’ said the father to himself, ‘I am going to build two wooden rocking horses, one for each of my children.’ So, he went to work right away and built each of his child a wooden rocking horse. Christmas morning came. Sister and brother were ecstatic to receive their wooden rocking horses. They knew just by looking at them that their own father had built them with his own hands. That made their Christmas gifts more special than ever.
