Little miss naughty- I know that this story is a bit lame and sappy but
again I have to repeat that this is not an official mystery. This is about
the children that they have.
Catherinewells2371 and Ragna Ice-I'm glad that you think that this is cute.
Katie-You're right it does run in the family so why not the children. I'm afraid to disappoint you that it might not be all that good though. Just cute and sappy.
I'm very sorry that it has taken me so long to update this story. Between Christmas parties, work, and Christmas itself I've been busy.
Disclaimer: I don't own them. I believe that Stratmeyer Syndicate and Simon and Schuster do. I just have fun writing them.
Chapter 3
"Uncle what kind of cloth is this?" George's daughter asked.
"Well let's see." He pulled a book off of the shelf. "This book has the feel and textures of all kinds of cloth." Frank allowed them to go through the book until Sam joined them and found the material.
Alyssa pronounced the word as she saw it. "bur- lap." She read slowly.
"Daddy what buhlap?" Nancy chuckled at her son before she went into the kitchen.
"Well burlap is a material that they used to wrap Jesus up." Frank answered as Joe walked into the room.
"Can see Him?" The little boy asked shyly.
Joe laughed at his nephews words. "I'll take you to see Jesus. I think Daddy has a call with the station right now."
Joe led the children out of the room. "Joe! Joe!" Sam followed dragging Alyssa with him.
"Sam I don't need to be dragged in there I was already following!" She finally managed to pull away.
"You'll never keep up!" The children were already arguing.
"You know that you two have lost them. I think that I know where they are going. Would you like me to take you there?"
"Yes sir." They didn't call their mother's friend Uncle. It just seemed to them that there was something that kept them distant to some degree. The children couldn't put their fingers on it.
He took them to where Uncle Joe's car was. "Thank you Ned." They went to where Joe was.
Jon (Frank's son. It appears that I haven't given the child a name.), was looking around the manger. "Wook at dis." He pointed to the material. "It's buhlap."
"So it is." Ned commented.
"Ned." Joe gave a curt nod.
"Joe." He returned the favor.
"What does the burlap mean?" Sam questioned.
"Well it looks like it could be a clue." Alyssa sounded unsure at that.
"You're right it is." Joe agreed. "Let's see what else we can find."
"Uncle Joe! What is this?" Alyssa pointed out a rope that was in the back of a lean to that served as a manger scene.
"Before you open that keep looking around." Joe suggested.
"Okay," Sam agreed.
"Uncle! Wead dis to me."
Joe and Ned sat down in the lean to as the children gathered around them.
"One night a long time ago there was a young woman that was met by an angel outside of her house. The angel had told her that she would bear a son. He was to be called Jesus. (I'm just giving the general gist of the story at the moment.) The Caesar, the Roman king had sent out an order that all the men were to travel to the homes that they were born in. Mary who was about to have baby Jesus rod a donkey on the way there. They searched all through the hotels to find that there were not any rooms for them to sleep in. A little boy came running behind them to tell them that the stable where the animals were kept was a place that they could sleep. Mary and Joseph took the opportunity because they were both really tired. They weren't going to sleep that night because on that night a beautiful baby was born. The baby had three visitors that night. They were three wise men for other nations. They brought for the little baby incense, frankincense and myrrh." Joe was at the last page.
"What does that say Sam?" Joe inquired.
"It says to pull the rope string."
"Can I?" Jon jumped out of his uncle's lap.
"Yes you can."
Jon after receiving permission pulled the string to find three funny looking jars. Each jar had the one of the children's name on it. It also had the name of the three scents that were mentioned in the story that they just read. Sam opened the lid to his, "Look there is a picture of a box here." Sam looked around to find the aforementioned box. There it is!" He pointed in the direction that it was and went off in the direction.
When he opened the box he was really excited. "There are presents in here!" He announced and they are all for me."
"Let's see what Alyssa has." Ned suggested.
Alyssa opened her jar. "I have a picture of a door?" She wondered out loud. She led the way to the church doors. Well it looks..." She stopped in front of a bag that she didn't remember seeing earlier.
"Well open it." Joe encouraged.
She did to find her presents in the bag. "My presents." She wanted to dig through them but she stopped.
"What about Jon?"
Jon had some trouble so he had to hand the jar to Uncle Joe. "What is this a picture of?" He handed the picture to his nephew.
"A chair." He questioned.
"Well let's go see." Sam was ready to rum way ahead of them to see what they would find there but held back remembering that they had to wait for the person that was actually receiving the presents.
They found the 'chair' which actually turned out to be a bench that held a small wood box. He already knew what it was because the other two had already told him what had been in there packages. 'Dank you." He hugged his Uncle Joe and Ned.

Okay you really do have to forgive me. I really have been busy and I can't wait for my schedule to slow down. I know that this story has been cute, sappy and lame but I had more than one purpose here. I don't think that I will add another chapter to this. While writing a two year old is fun they are hard to write because I haven't worked with them for a long time. So if you have a two year old out there and I don't have it exactly right don't chew me out. I was trying. Arigato, ja ne, and Merry Christmas!
