On Christmas Eve when Peter came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shining car. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked. Peter answered, “Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it did cost you nothing? Sir, I wish...” he hesitated. Peter knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Peter looked at the boy in surprise, and then invited the boy to take a ride in his car.
