A Christmas Miracle

A Christmas Miracle

A Story by Christine McLant

It has happened once before the Christmas. Traditionally on Christmas all people have decorated Christmas Tree which has been the best deal the children have liked. Our story has begun in one small town called "Pinedale'' located in the state Wyoming. One of families which has lived in this city could be without Christmas Tree  if it was not one little girl's bravery. The Kelling's family this year could not have Christmas Tree because William Kelling had broken his leg when he has been in mountains.

 

- Hunny, don't be upset, it's not the end of the world, the main thing is that you are alive and nothing worse has happened gently  said his wife Jennifer

- You are right Jenny, I love you - they kissed

- I love you too. 

 

The only and long-awaited child Abigail has listened them...

- Mommy we don't have a Christmas Tree this Christmas, yes?

- I am so sorry sweetheart but you see which situation has happened... but at another year we will certainly have Christmas Tree

- Oh... okay... I love you mum and daddy too

- We love you too Jenny said and kissed daughter at the cheek... Okay now going to bed, it's late.

- Goodnight mum, dad

- Goodnight sunny.

While Abby climbs upstairs she thinks " We will be have Christmas Tree, I will do it myself but first I need to wait when mum and dad are asleep. It was middle of night when Abigail got dressed and left. But before to go to the wood she goes to barn for sleigh. When she come she saw her best friend- the dog breed husky.

"Hey Courtney" she has started stroke a dog

- You have to help me, we need to bring a Christmas Tree

A dog started wagging a tail.

Abby got a sleigh and strapped them to Courtney's lash

- Come on, boy, let's go 

A  little later they have walked in the woods

- Do you think Courtney we will find a beautiful Christmas tree?

A dog just bark

There is so dark and frightening. I am so scary. There were just wind whistling and an owl hooting. 

Mrs. Kelling as sensed something was wrong and woke up.

- Jenn, what's happened?

- I don't know but I have a bad feeling. I am going to check Abby.

Jennifer came to the door and opened it.

- Abby, sweetheart.. but she is only seeing the empty bed

With scaring in her voice she said:

- Will, Abby is missing 

- What? What are you talking about?

- I checked her room but she wasn't there

- Where she can going?

- I don't know, I am going to look for her and asking for help a few neighborhood.

- Okay, hunny, take care.

"Look Courtney, we found her" . And Abby referred on a big beautiful Christmas tree.

Suddenly they heard movement  from another side and a dog over his teeth.

A moment later they see the old man.

The man looked surprisingly and asked:

- What are you doing here little one? And why you alone?

- I am not little one I have already 8 years old and I am not alone I have a friend

The man looked on a dog

- Yeah, I see. So, what's your name, dear?

- My name is Abigail Kelling and I am looking for a Christmas tree

- Why are your dad not to do it?

- Because he has a broken leg

- I understand. 

- Do you help me? Mr? 

- Mr Brenton

-  Of course I help you

Mr Brenton chopped down the tree, led on sled and linked it.

- Here we go, do you find way back to home?

- Yes, thank you Mr. Brenton

- You are welcome said he with smile

Jennifer Kelling with a few other people looking for an Abby

- Oh my God, sunny, where are you? If something happen to her I couldn't live with myself.

- Everything will be ok Jenny, we will find it 

- Thank you Tess

- Oh, Courtney we got lost, where we  need to go now? Abby said and cried

A dog starts lick her hands

- Thank you for be here. And then she looks on the sky.

- Here, the Christmas Star, maybe she will lead us to right way. 

And they go ahead.

- Abby? Abby? Where are you?

But then they saw another man.

Some time passed...

And then they started to run

- Mommy, mommy

A dog in gratitude stars to lick her face.
