The Candle In The Forest

"The Candle In The Forest" by Temple Bailey follows a poor but warmhearted mother and her Small Girl as they prepare a humble Christmas beefsteak pie, transforming onions into silver and carrots into gold through the power of imagination. When a lonely boy from the wealthy house next door joins them on Christmas morning, he glimpses something his grand tree and lavish dinner cannot offer — a candle lit in the forest, a family's fierce tenderness, and the ache of wanting to be truly loved. The story quietly sets contentment against bitterness, and generosity against resentment.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
