difficult decision making. The decision she has

Conclusion
Especially when you are young, short stories seem like they
should have some tremendous payoff at the end, if for no
other reason than to justify their very shortness.
This is a story of the strength of love. It takes about 5 minutes
to read and will make you think about it long afterwards. It is
short and bittersweet and a good reminder that it's not what
you have but what you choose to do with it that matters.
This exquisite little story beautifully captures the spirit of the
season. It's one for the whole family to enjoy as, with warmth
and wit, it imparts the age old lesson about it being better to
give than to receive.
