Once upon a time, there was a family who
always bought a tree for Christmas. What
excitement it was to the children! The
Smith family decorated the tree on a
Sunday, every year. For Sunday is God's
day of rest. That particular Sunday was the
Sunday the Smith family planned to
decorate the tree.
"Can I put the angel on the top this year,
please?" asked Susie, the Smith family
daughter.
"I don't see why not," said Mr. Smith. "That
comes last though. When the time comes,
I'll lift you up on my shoulders so you'll be
able to reach."
"Thank you, Daddy!" cried Susie.
"Now, you
must be careful, Henry!" warned Mrs.
Smith.
