The Legend of the Little Drummer Boy

Little drummer boy

After the wise men and the shepherds had left the stable a little drummer boy stood alone. A tear glistened in his eye for he was the only one who had not brought a gift. Without thinking he began to play his drum. Very softly at first, pa-rum-pum-pum pa-rum-pum-pum . . . then louder and louder PA-RUM-PUM-PUM PA-RUM PUM-PUM ... and in the humble manger the tiny Christ Child's head turned towards the sound and smiled. No longer sad the little drummer boy's heart sang for he knew that his was the greatest gift of all ... the gift of Love."
