AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The Parson is ill, so he has cancelled the Christmas service. Mouse is having none of that. He sets up the nativity and lights a candle. As others in the village see it, something wonderful happens.
Think of this as a Christmas Stone Soup. With the lighting of the candle, Mouse sets in motion something wonderful. I personally wish it had been the Parson’s daughter (there’s no daughter in the story) instead of a mouse to keep it more realistic. But it is still a kind story.
