There was an intelligent boy, named John. He was very sad as his mother was unwell and too during Christmas time. He loved her dearly. John wanted her to improve soon. He recalled a story his mother had told him. In that story, a little boy had scraped the rust from the church bell so that his mother might recover from an illness. John decided that he would do the same, hoping his mother would get well. John went to the church early in the morning. He climbed up to the bell tower. He was very sacred but scraped the rust from the bell. Then he came down. He sat there crying. The pastor found him in this condition. He found out why John was unhappy. Together, they prayed for the John’s mother. His mother improved a lot by the time John reached home.
