　　A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office a street boy was walking around the shiny new car admiring it．

　　“Is this your car Mister?" he said．

　　Paul nodded．"My brother gave it to me for Christmas．"The boy was astounded．"You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing?Boy I wish…"He hesitated．

　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish he had a brother like that．But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels．

　　"I wish " the boy went on "That I could be a brother like that．"

　　Paul looked at the boy in astonishment then impulsively he added "Would you like to take a ride in my car?"

　　"Oh yes I’d love that．Would you mind driving in front of my house?"

　　Paul smiled a little．He thought he wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile．But Paul was wrong again．"Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked．

　　He ran up the steps．Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back．He was carrying his little disabled brother．He sat him down on the bottom step then sort of lifted him up against himself and pointed to the car．

　　"There she is Buddy just like I told you upstairs．His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost himself a cent．And some day I’m gonna give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that I’ve been trying to tell you about．"

　　Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car．The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride．That Christmas Eve Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said："It is more blessed to give…"
