3430. The lost angel

20 Replies

Poor Flutterfeather. He was reputed to be the smallest angel, so much so that he was often laughed at and thought to be a bit “slow”. Not that angels are cruel like that but anyway…

God sent a group of angels to Bethlehem to announce the birth of Jesus. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all.” It was a big sentence for the littlest angel to remember so he kept saying it over and over. On the way down through the clouds Flutterfeather got lost. There was too much fog. He was separated from the other angels.

Instead of landing in Bethlehem he landed somewhere in Africa. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all,” he said. He knew he was in the wrong place, so off he went. Does anyone know how to get to Bethlehem?

Instead of landing in Bethlehem he landed somewhere in the Americas. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all,” he said. He knew he was in the wrong place, so off he went. Does anyone know how to get to Bethlehem?

Instead of landing in Bethlehem he landed somewhere in Asia. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all,” he said. He knew he was in the wrong place, so off he went. Does anyone know how to get to Bethlehem?

Instead of landing in Bethlehem he landed somewhere in Europe. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all,” he said. He knew he was in the wrong place, so off he went. Does anyone know how to get to Bethlehem?

Instead of landing in Bethlehem he landed somewhere in Oceania. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to all,” he said. He knew he was in the wrong place, so off he went. Does anyone know how to get to Bethlehem?

The poor fellow flew all over the place looking. Instead of announcing peace on earth to a few shepherds in Bethlehem, he announced the message of Christmas to the whole world.

Happy Christmas and peace to all!

3068. Edwina, the Christmas Fairy Part 5

15 Replies

This is a continuation of Edwina, the Christmas Fairy, Part 4, posted on 10 December 2024.

Edwina awoke. She was still very wet and lost. “Well I can’t sit here on the roadside moping like a wet mop if I am to find my way home,” she thought. “But I’m afraid the gifts I bought for the children will have to stay here. They’re far too heavy. First things first. I shall have to knock on a door and find out where I am.”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Oh my goodness me!” shouted Mrs. Babich. “Children! Children! The Christmas Fairy is at our door! You poor thing, you are all wet. Here – dry yourself. Would you like a cup of tea?”

Edwina stayed quite a while in Mrs. Babich’s house, warming and drying herself. The children were so excited.

“Have a merry Christmas,” said Mrs. Babich as Edwina left.

“Yes! Happy Christmas!” said Edwina. “Peace on Earth. Good will to all.”

With that Edwina departed. But she was still lost. Edwina visited another house; and another; and another. “Peace on Earth. Good will to all,” she would say to each. But no one could tell where she lived.

In the end she had visited every house except one. “Peace on Earth. Good will to all.” And there it was at the end of the street: her home! She had announced the Christmas message to every house on the street. As she entered her own home she knew her place was no longer meant to be at the top of the tree. She had another job to do.

She would announce “Peace on Earth. Good will to all” to every household in town.

2592. Always do one thing at a time

Noah poured himself a wine to celebrate. What he had done was so simple and yet people had said it was not possible. Noah had hacked his way into the digital framework of every nuclear country and disabled their nuclear buttons. He did it in a flash – all at once – with one push of what he called “My Peace Button”.

Noah was a crank; a total crank. He was a creative genius of unrivalled ability. An example would be his burglar proof abode. If a stranger entered his house uninvited all windows and door were silently barred. The burglar would slowly starve to death. The system could be activated from anywhere in the world.

Noah was not one in a million; he was one in eight billion. The systems he devised weren’t the usual run-of-the-mill stuff.

Only one nuclear warhead was not disabled. Noah had altered its pre-set trajectory. It could not be changed. It would head to downtown Beijing. The Chinese could blow up themselves or Noah could activate it with the push of a button.

Noah poured himself another wine and sat down in his armchair.

“Goodbye Beijing,” he said. He pressed the button. It was now a question of waiting. It was then he realized something: he’d muddled the GPS. The nuclear warhead was heading straight for his burglar-proof house.

Well! At last! At last! The problem is solved! An alien spacecraft has landed on earth and the superior-technologied aliens are friendly! It’s proof at last that we are not alone in the universe.

Prior to the spacecraft landing the earth was in upheaval. It seemed that every country was at each other’s throats. The aliens were super-friendly but they still had weaponry that could wipe earth out in a split second. The aliens’ superior power would force the divided world to be united.

China quickly formed an exclusive alliance with them.
