The Legend of the
Christmas Bells

In a small village on Christmas Eve, an old woman sighed,
blew out her candle, and climbed into bed.
For the first time in her long life, the bell of the village church
would not ring at midnight to herald Christmas,
for the bell and its tower had been damaged in a storm.
The old woman lay sleeplessly in her bed for a long time,
and just as she was finally drifting off,
she was roused by a clamor outside.
She arose and opened her front door to see what it could be.
Parading down the road was the church’s pastor,
followed by several of the village’s children,
ringing bells with all the exuberance in their young hearts.
Other doors began to open, lamps were lit,
and weary faces turned to smiles
as the villagers took in the lively procession before them.
But no one was more delighted than the old woman,
who was sure that, in all her years,
the ringing of the bells had never sounded so sweet.
