  Little Tommy Tucker sang for his supper. 
  What did he sing for? white bread and butter. 
  How could he cut it, without any knife? 
  How could he marry, without any wife? 
  LITTLE TOMMY TUCKER was a waif of the streets. He never remembered having a father or mother or any one to care for him, and so he learned to care for himself. He ate whatever he could get, and slept wherever night overtook him—in an old barrel, a cellar, or, when fortune favored him, he paid a penny for a cot in some rude lodging-house. His life about the streets taught him early how to earn a living by doing odd jobs, and he learned to be sharp in his speech and wise beyond his years.	One morning Tommy crawled out from a box in which he had slept over night, and found that he was hungry. His last meal had consisted of a crust of bread, and he was a growing boy with an appetite. But Tommy was a plucky boy with a lively wit and a way of making his way. People liked him and so he managed to earn a living and eat quite well and ended up as Sir. Tomas Tucker.

  A Sheep For Jesus

  The Story 
  Long ago, in the hills of Bethlehem, there lived a young shepherd boy named Amos. Amos was only eight years old but already helped his family care for their flock of sheep. His favourite sheep was a little lamb named Star. 
  Star was different from the others, with a soft white coat that gleamed like the morning sun and a tiny patch of grey on her nose. Amos and Star were inseparable. Whenever Amos played his flute by the pastures, Star would prance around happily, as if she understood the music. 
  One chilly evening, Amos’s father, Joel, returned from the village market with exciting news. "The Messiah has been born!" Joel announced to the family. 
  "The Messiah?" Amos asked, his wide eyes reflecting the flickering firelight. 
  "Yes," Joel replied. "A Savior, sent by God, has come into the world! Angels even appeared to the shepherds to proclaim His birth. They said the child is in Bethlehem, wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger." 
  Amos’s heart swelled with wonder. The Messiah? Could it really be true? 
  The next day, Amos couldn’t stop thinking about the baby. He overheard his parents talking about bringing gifts to the Messiah. His father planned to take freshly baked bread, and his mother would carry a warm blanket she had woven. 
  Amos wanted to bring a gift, too, but what could a young shepherd boy offer to a king? He had no gold, no fine spices, and no treasures. 
  As he tended the sheep that afternoon, Amos watched Star play among the wildflowers. An idea struck him. I’ll give Star to the Messiah!
