Daniel received a trendy sports car as a Christmas gift from his brother. As Daniel came out of his office, he saw a street kid walking around his shiny car, admiring it, asking: " is this your car, mister?" Daniel said: "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas".
The boy was astounded and started to say: " I wish..." and then he hesitated for awhile.Of course Daniel knew what he was going to say. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy was saying jarred Daniel down to his heels.
"I wish" the boy went on to say, " that I could be a brother like that"
Daniel was astonished and asked the boy: "Would you like a ride?" After a short ride, the boy asked: "could you stop the car, there close to these two steps?" He ran up the steps and then in a short while Daniel heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his severely handicapped brother. He sat him down on the bottom step, then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed towards 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 him a cent. And one day, I am just going to give you one like it...then you will be able to see for yourself all the beautiful things in the Christmas windows that I have been trying to tell you about."
Daniel got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car. The shining eyed older brother climbed in right beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride. That Christmas even Daniel had learned the true meaning of:
"it is more blessed to give..."
