A Christmas Story with Rosmarie
This story, I wrote as a christmas present for my mum and my little brothers, last year. For my brothers in german, of course. They are to small, they wouldn`t understand any english.
It`s a calender story, that`s why I had to split it in 24 pieces.
And it is very easy to read.
1. A long time ago there lived an old man, a young man and a child.
2. The old man`s name was Jussuf. And he was a very old man. Probably about a
hundred years old.
3. The young man1s name was Gabriel. And he was always very busy, because he was working for food for his old father and his young son.
4. The child`s name was Matthias and he was Gabriel`s son and Jussuf`s grandson.
He was a little bit sad all the time because his father had no time for him.
5.They lived all together in a little house near Bethlehem. But you can`t see the village, from where they lived.
6. There were only a lot of hills and a lot of sand and very much grass and one cat, some palm trees and very many sheep.
7.The sheep were everywhere. One lived on the roof. It was called Rosmarie.
8. One day Matthias saw a big strange white bird. He was carrying a shining golden star in it`s beak.
9. Gabriel didn`t believe him.
10. Jussuf didn`t hear him.
11.And so Matthias cried.
12. Rosmarie nudged him with her nose and said:"I saw it too."
13. And they both looked up in the sky and saw the strange big white bird again, who tried to fix the star in the sky.
14. But the star didn`t want to hang in the sky.
15. And the strange big white bird cried bitter, salty tears, which fell on earth.
16. Matthias and Rosmarie ran to the big white bird and called up to him:"Hey you, strange big white bird! Can we help you?"
17. "Oh would you really do that for me?", asked the strange big white bird and came down to them.
18. And they saw that is wasn`t a bird. It was a little girl who was wearing a long white shirt and who had long white pigtails and big white wings and bitten fingernails.
19. "Are you an angel?", asked Rosmarie surprised.
"Yes and my name is Sarah", said Sarah.
20. Matthias only stood there. He was so surprised, he couldn`t move. He could
only watch in amazement.
21. Suddenly, Sarah laughed. And Rosmarie and Matthias noticed, that wings grew out of theire backs.
22. So they flew up to the sky. That was very funny and they laughed all the time. And rosmarie did summersaults because she was full of happiness.
23. Then they arrived in the sky and tried to bind the star, but the star didn`t want to hang there. So they used Matthias chewing gum and Rosmarie`s spit, because the spit of a sheep glues very well.
24. They finished that job in the evening. And they saw the star shining wonderfully in the sky.
So they were happy and danced around.
Later they noticed there was light in old Jussuf`s stable. And because the stable was exactly under their feet, they flew down and looked in.
There was a man and a woman. The woman had a newborn infant in her arms. And everybody who saw these three people became lucky and happy.
Rosmarie, Matthias and Sarah flew home and told everybody this story.
Everybody believed them, because they had wings and Sarah was really an angel. So they had a big, but silent party for the child and every child in the whole wide world.
Gabriel and Jussuf were very happy to get Rosmarie and Matthias back. And they asked Sarah if she would like to stay with them and she said yes.
the only sad thing was that they lost their wings after this adventure. And Sarah`s hair wasn`t white anymore, it changed into black.
