list

Abby and I were discussing Christmas lists on the way to school this morning.

We concluded that Father Christmas must have millions of elves in order to get all the toys made. In fact there might be as many elves as there are blades of grass in our local playing field.

This is just as well because there are millions of children around the world who'll be hoping for presents.

Abby: Even children in Africa will want presents.

Me: That's right they will.

Abby: I think I know what they will put on their Christmas list.

Me: What's that?

Abby: School, because they only have that old wooden building.

So there you have it.

If you are not sure what to spend your money on this Christmas, I have it on good authority that there are some African children who would like a school.

In fact I've met them and Abby's right.
