    When 
    you were grown 
    up 

    and 
    telling stories 
    to your children, 


    I wonder what 
    things you will remember 


    from when you were a 
    child. 

    One of the things 
    I remember 

    is 
    being taken 
    to visit my great 
    -granny, 


    a small, 
    round, smiley 
    old lady 

    with 
    white hair 
    in a bun 

    and 
    old -fashioned dresses. 

    She 
    wore glasses 
    with gold rims 

    and her 
    eyes were 
    twinkly and kind, 

    so 
    it was a 
    nice sort of sparkly 

    feeling 

    when she looked 
    at me. 

    And our mother 
    used to take me 

    and my sister 

    to 
    visit great -granny 
    from time to time. 

    There 
    were some things I 
    remember 

    especially 
    about these 
    visits. 

    I remember 
    that she loved her garden, 

    and 
    that great -granny and our 

    mother 

    would spend a long 
    time 

    looking at the flowers 

    and growing 
    things. 

    She had 
    plants inside her 
    house too. 

    I liked the 
    big fern 

    that stood in 
    the corner. 

    A 
    fern is a 
    lovely plant, 


    it doesn't have colourful 
    flowers, 


    but it has light 
    green leaves 

    that are 
    graceful and cool 

    and refreshing. 

    Great 
    Granny also had 
    a clock, 

    called 
    a granddaughter clock, 

    like a 
    grandfather clock but 

    smaller. 

    Me and my sister 
    discovered 

    that 
    if we jumped hard 
    on the floorboards 


    near the granddaughter clock 

    we could 
    make it chime, 

    even when it wasn't 

    the right time for chiming. 

    After the jumping 
    and the chiming 

    had 
    gone on for a while, 

    our mother would say, 

    you must come 
    and sit down quietly 

    now. 

    And we did. 

    But the problem 
    was, 

    Great Granny had a 
    rocking chair. 

    Now 
    we didn't have a 
    rocking chair 

    at home, 

    and me 
    and my sister 

    thought it was wonderful 

    to sit 
    in this chair 

    and make 
    it rock. 

    But of course we 
    couldn't both sit in it 
    at once, 


    and we used to argue 
    about who would go 
    on the rocking chair, 


    so our mother said, 
    stop arguing, 

    you 
    must take it in 
    turns. 

    Then one of us 
    would go on the rocking -chair, 


    but the other had 
    to have something to play 
    with or to look 
    at, 

    so as to be 
    able to sit quietly 
    and wait 

    for a turn on the 
    chair. 

    There 
    isn't much 
    in the way of toys 

    in Great 
    Granny's house, 

    of course, 

    but there were 
    some ornaments 

    we 
    were allowed to 

    hold and look 
    at. 

    Two of them 
    I remember especially. 

    One was a 
    brush that was made 

    in 
    the shape of a beautiful 
    lady. 

    It looked 
    like a doll, 

    a doll of Cinderella 
    in her dress 

    to go to the ball. 

    She had 
    long, ringlet 
    -y hair, 

    and And 
    she held the top part of 

    her skirts of her dress, 

    as if she was 
    going to dance. 

    And 
    the shimmering blue 

    and pink skirts 
    of her dress 

    were 
    the bristles of the 
    brush. 

    I thought this 
    Cinderella brush 

    was so pretty, 

    and 
    such a clever idea, 

    so 
    I liked to be 
    allowed to hold it 

    and play with 
    it. 

    Then 
    the other thing I 
    liked especially 

    was an 
    ornament they call 

    a snowstorm. 

    Have you seen 
    one of those? 

    It's 
    a glass 
    dome, 

    and inside it 
    are figures of 
    people, 

    or trees, 
    or animals, 

    with 
    snow on the 

    ground around them. 

    And it's 
    all filled with 
    water, 

    so 
    that when you shake it up, 

    then hold it 
    still to look at, 


    the white snowflakes 
    whirl 
    around, 


    exactly like a 
    snowstorm. 

    Now 
    my great -granny 

    had one of these 
    interesting things, 

    and along 
    the base of it 

    were some words 
    written, 

    my 
    mother read the 
    words to me, 

    the flight 
    to Egypt. 
    it. 

    So 
    the little scene 
    inside the glass 
    dome 

    of the 
    snowstorm was called 

    The Flight 
    to Egypt. 

    Before I shook 
    it up to make it snow 


    on the people inside 
    it, 

    I used to look carefully 
    at them, 


    because you couldn't 

    see them so well 

    while it was snowing. 

    It was the same 
    people 

    as I had on my 
    car to look at for 

    rest time—Joseph 

    walking 
    along leading 
    the donkey, 


    and Mary riding 
    on the donkey's back, 

    only 
    this time Mary's 
    tummy had gone 

    back down to normal 

    and 
    she was cradling 
    a little baby 
    in her arms, 

    the baby Jesus. 

    And I liked 
    it because 
    you could turn it 

    round 

    and see the front 
    of them, 

    and the back 
    of them, 

    and the side 
    of them, 

    not like the 
    card 

    when you can only 
    see the front. 

    In 
    Great Granny Snowstorm 

    Mary had 
    on the same blue dress, 


    and the baby 
    Jesus was wrapped up 

    warm and cosy 
    in a white shawl. 

    Joseph 
    had his stick 
    and his bag 

    and 
    his handles just 
    the same, 


    but he was wearing 
    a red robe 
    this time. 

    The 
    people in the snowstorm 
    were small, 


    so it wasn't 
    easy to make out 
    their faces, 


    but you could see 
    at once 

    it was the 
    same people, 

    only this 
    time they were going 

    somewhere different. 

    They'd been 
    to the stable 

    at Bethlehem 
    with the 
    star, 

    and Jesus had 
    been born there, 

    and 
    the angels had fetched 
    the shepherds to 
    see him, 


    and now Mary 
    and Joseph 

    were 
    on their way somewhere 

    else. 

    One thing was 
    puzzling me. 

    The snowstorm 
    had the words, 

    the flight 
    to Egypt, 

    but nothing was 
    flying. 

    There were no birds, 

    and in 
    the days of Mary and 
    Joseph, 

    aeroplanes 
    hadn't been thought 

    up yet. 

    So why did it 
    say the flight 

    when nothing was 
    flying? 

    I 
    asked our mother about 
    it, 

    and she explained 
    to me 

    that 
    sometimes flight 
    means 
    flying like 
    a bird, 


    but sometimes 
    it means 

    running away. 

    Joseph and 
    Mary were running 

    away. 

    They were running 
    away to Egypt, 

    a 
    long way from 
    Bethlehem 
    where Jesus was 
    born, 


    and a long 
    way from their 

    home in Nazareth. 

    Our 
    mother said they 
    had to run away, 


    because 
    of King Herod. 

    King 
    Herod wanted to 
    kill Jesus. 

    I thought 
    that was terrible, 

    because Jesus was 
    only a little baby 
    then, 


    and even when 
    he grew up 

    he was good and 
    kind. 

    He told people stories 
    about God our 

    Heavenly Father, 

    and he made 
    them better when they were 

    ill. 

    I thought everybody 
    loved Jesus. 

    I 
    thought you had to 
    love Jesus. 

    But 
    King Herod certainly 
    didn't, 

    and our 
    mother said this was 
    because King Herod 

    was jealous of 
    Jesus. 

    So then I wanted 
    to know, 

    why should anyone 
    be jealous of a 

    little baby like 
    that? 

    Why should a 
    king, 

    who lived 
    in a palace 

    and 
    dressed in velvet 
    and jewels and 
    fur, 


    be jealous of a little 
    baby of 
    a man and a woman so 

    poor they 
    had to shelter 
    in a stable 

    for 
    that little baby to be 
    born? 

    And then 
    our mother told me 


    that from the beginning 
    of time, 


    it was written in 
    the stars 

    about baby 
    Jesus. 

    Jesus, 
    that 
    little baby asleep 
    on the hay, 


    was the one who 
    came from heaven 

    to 
    bring God's 
    kingdom of peace 


    and love to earth. 

    The angels 
    said so. 

    The wise 
    men saw it written 
    in the stars 

    and 
    they knew. 

    But 
    of course, 
    if Jesus had 
    a kingdom of love 
    and peace, 


    then that made him a 
    king, didn't it? 
    That 
    little baby, 

    asleep in the 
    manger, 

    was born to 
    be a king of 

    great power. 

    So when King 
    Herod heard 

    about Jesus 
    being born, 

    he 
    was jealous 
    and 
    afraid. 

    He was afraid 
    that Jesus 
    would come and 

    take his crown away, 

    and 
    his palace, 
    and all 
    his money, 

    for Jesus 
    to be king 

    instead of Herod. 

    And so he wanted 
    to kill him, 


    so that could never 
    happen. 

    But Herod 
    didn't understand, 

    did he? 
    Maybe 
    no one told 
    him that money 
    doesn't matter 

    in 
    the kingdom of Jesus, 

    because 
    the power of 
    Jesus 

    is 
    not the power 

    you can buy with 
    money. 

    Oh no, 
    it's the power 
    of love. 

    And that was 
    why Joseph and 
    Mary 

    had to 
    run away with 
    their donkey 

    and their little 
    baby all 

    the way to the 
    far land of 
    Egypt, 

    so 
    that baby Jesus 
    would be safe from 
    King Herod, 


    until it was all 
    right to come home 
    to Nazareth, 


    to their house 
    and Joseph's carpenter 

    shop. 

    When I had looked 
    carefully at the 

    little figures 

    walking 
    along together, 

    I would hold 
    the 
    snowstorm 

    in both 
    my hands 

    and shake it up 
    to make it snow. 


    I don't suppose 
    it really snowed 


    on the flight to Egypt 

    because I think 
    Egypt is hot 

    and sunny. 

    But whenever I 
    think of Mary 
    and 
    Joseph
    , 

    running away from 
    Herod, 


    escaping with the baby 
    Jesus 

    from the soldiers 
    an
    d their swords, 

    hurrying 
    away to a 
    hiding place 

    until 
    it was safe 
    to come home. 

    I 
    think of them walking 
    through a storm 
    of snow, 


    with shawls over 
    their heads 

    an
    d their shoulders 
    hunched 
    in the cold and 
    wind, 


    Mary bending 
    over Jesus 

    to 
    keep him warm 
    and dry, 

    and Snowflake 
    settling 
    on the 

    donkey's 
    eyelashes 

    and 
    his long, furry 
    ears. 

    I'm glad 
    they kept baby 
    Jesus safe, 


    aren't you? 
    Whatever would 
    we have done without Jesus?
