A short story about Christmas

In a small shoe store in Marseille, there was a skilled shoemaker Martin. He looked at the snow outside the window and remembered the protagonist of Christmas: "Tonight is white Christmas Eve. If tomorrow is the first Christmas, Jesus will be born in Marseilles, and I will give him a pair of beautiful little leather shoes. "

After that, Martin took a pair of small leather shoes from the shoe rack, carefully dusted them off, and muttered to himself, "How stupid I am. How could the Lord Jesus want my little gift? "

Martin put out the light and went to bed, but when he was sleepy, he clearly heard Jesus say to him, "Martin, Martin, do you want to see me very much?" I will visit you in the window of your shoe store tomorrow. "

When the shoemaker Martin got up early in the morning, he cleaned the shop up and down, made hot coffee and prepared to meet Jesus. When the king of kings comes, always show a little heart. Before Jesus arrived in the morning, a poor street sweeper, with a broom in his hand, froze in the cold wind. Martin called him in to warm up and have a cup of hot coffee to warm up.

Jesus still didn't show up in the afternoon. A poor widow came out of the window with a child on her back. The woman was pale and the child's face was red with cold. Martin invited them in, gave them food and hot water, gave them clothes, and put on those little shoes for Jesus. Xin? サ? Hey? BR> Before Martin went to bed that night, Jesus still came to visit. "Ah, it was just a dream." Martin finally fell asleep by himself. Just as I was asleep, the window of the shoe store suddenly flashed, and the faces of the cleaner, the poor widow and the child appeared on the glass window. They laughed and said, "Martin, I'm calling to ask you."

In the darkness, Jesus kindly said to Martin, "whoever receives a child like this for my name will receive me." Because I am hungry, you feed me; I am thirsty, you give me water to drink; I'm a guest, you stay with me. I tell you the truth, since you have done these things to one of my youngest brothers, you have done them to me. "
