Scrisoare către Moș Crăciun

Vlad was excited for Christmas, like every year. He was ready to write his letter to Santa. With a red pencil and a blank sheet, he sat down at his desk. But this year, he overheard a conversation that troubled him. Not all children would receive gifts. This thought weighed heavily on his heart.

- Mom, why won't all children get gifts from Santa? Vlad asked, concerned. His mother explained that some families faced difficulties and couldn't afford presents. Vlad's heart ached at the thought. He realized he had to do something, but what?

Vlad decided to ask his best friend, Ioana, for ideas. - Ioana, how can we help the children who won't get presents? he asked eagerly. Ioana shrugged, unsure of what they could do. Together, they brainstormed, but nothing seemed right.

Vlad and Ioana decided to organize a toy collection at school. But when they asked the principal for permission, he hesitated. - I'm not sure we have enough time, he said. Vlad's heart sank, but he refused to give up.

Determined, Vlad and Ioana spoke to their classmates. - We can collect toys we don't use and give them to children in need, Vlad suggested. Their friends were excited, but some were unsure if they could spare anything. Vlad felt his dream slipping away.

Feeling discouraged, Vlad considered giving up. - Maybe it's too hard, he sighed to Ioana. They sat quietly, watching snowflakes fall. But giving up didn't feel right to Vlad.

That evening, Vlad's dad shared a story of a community helping each other. - Together, people can achieve anything, he said. Inspired, Vlad realized they needed more help. He decided to involve the whole neighborhood.

Vlad and Ioana organized a neighborhood toy drive. Flyers were distributed, and soon, toys began to pile up. On Christmas Eve, they delivered the gifts, bringing joy to many children. Vlad learned that the true spirit of Christmas was in giving, not receiving.
