Grant went Christmas shopping with his mother. He was hoping that he would get a glimpse of the robot toy that he wanted so badly for Christmas. But he was deeply hurt as the toy had been sold. Grant said sadly, “My toy is gone.” “What toy?” asked mother. “The robot,” said Grant. Mother smiled and said, “Maybe next time.” Grant nodded his head and both went home. On Christmas morning, Grant forgot all about the toy the moment he saw the gifts under the tree. Grant said, “Look at all the gifts under the tree! It looks like Santa Claus is here!” “Oh,” winked Grant’s father to his mother, “And he even left a special gift for you.” Grant tore the wrapping from the parcel. He was shocked when he saw his robot toy in the box. “Well,” laughed Grant’s father, “Merry Christmas, son!” Grant was speechless. He had tears in his eyes.
