Barrett sat on the curb day after day watching his brothers
ride their bikes
Barrett wanted to have a bike of his own but his mom and dad
said "you are too small maybe when you get Bigger"
Barrett knew he was not too small, he was a big boy! walking away he let out a sigh!
Barret got an idea, an idea on how he could get a bike
Barrett thought “maybe Santa will bring me a shiny Blue
bike for Christmas”!.
Even though it was Spring and Barrett knew Christmas was a long way away
He hurried up to his room with a pencil and some paper to write
Santa a letter
In his best words he wrote “Dear Santa, I reeeeeally would
like a shiny Blue bike for Christmas so I can ride with my brothers, Love
Barrett"
Barrett asked mom for an envelope, she wrote in big letters “ATTN:
Santa” on the front,
Barrett filled with excitement made the long walk to the post box, reached up on
his tip toes and mailed his letter off to Santa
Months passed and as Christmas grew closer Barrett became
more excited! he could not stop thinking about that shiny blue bike that he
asked Santa for.
Christmas morning finally had arrived, Barrett jumped out of
bed before anyone else and ran down the stairs to see if Santa had come! He had
Under the tree was filled with beautiful packages, Barrett
looked at each package with his name on it, his smile began to fade when he
realized there was no shiny blue bike
Though he was disappointed, he thought to himself Maybe
Santa didn't get his letter, or maybe Santa didn’t think he was big enough? Barrett
felt Sad.
Mom asked " Barrett what's wrong?” Barrett said “I
really wanted a shiny Blue bike so I could ride and play with my brothers” Mom
gave Barrett a big hug and said maybe next Christmas.
Barrett, with a half-smile said “ it’s ok mom, Santa has his reasons , maybe someone
needed a bike more than me this year, I will play with my new toys and wait
until I am bigger”
Even though Barrett knew he was big enough to ride a bike,
he went to his room and decided to write another letter to Santa " Dear Santa,
thank you for my new toys, I am sad because really wanted a shiny blue bike but I am happy with
what you brought for me”
With dinner in the oven and presents all unwrapped, Mom asked
Barrett “Barrett do you want to put your
shoes on to go outside and play”
Barrett agree'd and walked down the stairs with his letter to Santa in
his hand and head slunk down low.
As Barrett opened the garage to put his shoes on he spotted something
glowing
The most beautiful shiny Blue bike he could have ever
imagined.
Barrett raced over to the bike, opened the card and saw the
words written by Santa himself “Barrett,
thank you for your letter , sorry I had to put your shiny Blue Bike in the
garage but there was no more room under the tree, be careful, love Santa
Barrett took the card and ran back in the house, swooshing
past his mom and dad! Mom asked “Barrett where are you going? Don't you want to
ride your new bike? Barrett said “YES but I have to do something first"
In his room Barrett opened the letter he had just written to
Santa
Barrett took his pencil and added 1 more line to the letter “I
knew I was big enough, Love Barrett”
Barrett put on his helmet, smiled and
he rode all day with his brothers. On his shiny blue bike
The end
