Tell me: what is Christmas without a nativity scene? And no! Just as there is no nativity scene without Mary, Joseph and Jesus. But what to do when there can not be many Mary, Joseph and Jesus? Of course, they should be chosen from among classmates.
Only angels should not be chosen. Because every girl can be an angel. Even as timid as Beata.
But when angel's wings glisten behind her and a halo shines on her head, she invisibly transforms herself into a real angel. Isn't that why she appeared on the doorstep of old Mrs. Jonassen at the most difficult moment for her? And who knows how it would have ended if not for Beata - a little angel who had to go behind everyone ...
This touching Christmas story was written by the famous Norwegian writer Ingebjerg Dal Sam (b. 1936), author of poetry collections and many books for children and youth.
