In the heart of Pennsylvania, young Abraham dreams of owning a pony like his friends. He struggles with feelings of jealousy and sadness, believing he will never have a pony of his own. As Christmas approaches, Abraham faces disappointment but learns a valuable lesson in tolerance and patience.
Abraham was an Amish boy who lived in a small community in Pennsylvania. His friends all had ponies, and he longed for one too. Every day, he watched them ride through the fields, feeling a pang of jealousy. " - I wish I had a pony," Abraham sighed to his father. His father simply smiled and said, " - Patience, my son."
One day, Abraham asked his friend Samuel if he could ride his pony, Daisy. " - I'm sorry, Abraham," said Samuel, " - Daisy is not feeling well today." Abraham's heart sank as he walked home alone. Each day without a pony felt heavier than the last. " - Why can't I have a pony?" he wondered aloud.
The days grew colder, and Abraham's hope started to wane. He tried to save his pennies, but the cost of a pony was too high. One evening, he overheard his parents talking. " - It's just not possible right now," his mother said softly. Abraham felt a lump in his throat. " - Maybe I should stop wishing," he thought.
Christmas was near, and Abraham's heart was heavy with disappointment. He watched his friends prepare for holiday rides with their ponies. " - We'll miss you, Abraham," they called. He waved back, trying to smile. " - I'll never have a pony," he whispered to himself. His faith in a Christmas miracle was fading.
On Christmas Eve, Abraham's father came to sit beside him. " - Do you know the story of the Wise Men?" he asked. " - They traveled far, guided by faith." Abraham listened quietly. " - Sometimes, patience and faith bring the greatest gifts," his father continued. Abraham pondered his father's words, feeling a glimmer of hope.
Christmas morning arrived, and Abraham rushed to the table, but there was no gift. His heart sank, feeling as if he had been forgotten. " - Did I do something wrong?" he asked softly. " - Look in the stables," his father suggested with a wink. Abraham hesitated, his heart pounding with anticipation.
Abraham ran to the stables, his breath visible in the chilly air. As he opened the door, he gasped in disbelief. There stood a beautiful pony with a red bow around its neck. " - Is it really mine?" Abraham exclaimed. " - Merry Christmas, Abraham," his father said with a warm smile.
Abraham's heart overflowed with joy as he embraced his new pony. " - Thank you, Father," he said, tears in his eyes. His father nodded, " - Remember, patience and tolerance brought you this gift." Abraham understood now, cherishing not just his pony, but the lesson he'd learned. It was the best Christmas ever.
