Mary was afraid. But the angel comforted her, saying,
Fear not, for you are special to God. You will have a baby
boy who you will name Jesus. He will be called the Son of
the Highest.
Mary said, How can that be since I am not yet married?
With God nothing is impossible, the angel told her.
And Mary said, I am the servant of the Lord.

When Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem,
it was very crowded. The only place they
could find to stay was the stable at an inn. It
was warm and dry and that is where Mary
had her baby. She wrapped him in cloths and
laid him in the manger where the animals ate.

An angel came to them in a bright light, and they were
afraid.
Dont be afraid, said the angel. I bring good news

Suddenly, other angels joined him saying,
Glory to God! Peace on earth!

and worshipped Jesus. They

Brother s and Sister s eyes were closing.
Good night, said Papa, tucking Brother and
Sister in. God bless you!
Night, Papa, murmured Brother and Sister,
sleepily. Bless you!
Papa picked up Honey to carry her to bed.
Bible stories were a good choice, he said to
himself.
And he tip-toed softly out of the room.
