It's Christmas morning and little Amy and her brother Joe are excitedly opening their presents while Mam and Dad watch them. They finish opening their presents and Mam notices a slight look of disappointment on Amy's face.Mam : "What's the matter Amy?"Amy : "Oh, it's nothing really. Santa didn't bring me an I-Pod!"Mam : "Well I'm sure there's a good reason, maybe the birthday fairy will bring one"Joe : "What about my X-Box?"Mam : "Well I'm fairly sure the birthday fairy will bring one of those also"Amy and Joe started to protest about not having the presents they wanted.Dad : "Enough! Santa didn't bring them, he's gone back home and won't be back until next year. Let's just see what happens on your birthdays. You should be grateful for what you've had. Some kids in Africa don't even have food or water. They can only play with sticks and stones because that's all there is for them to play with."And with that, the subject was dropped. Amy played with her new dolls and Joe played with his new toys. The rest of the day passed and it was a pleasant and happy one for the family. Bedtime for the kids approached and Amy went to bed still feeling disappointed.Amy was so sad that when the light went out and Mam closed the door, she started to sob quietly. Santa really let her down this time. As she was crying herself to sleep, her door quitely opened, then closed and she felt someone sit on the end of her bed. She looked up and all she could see against the light from the window in the dark room was a silhouette of someone very familiar ... it looked like Santa himself!Santa : "Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas little Amy!"Amy : "Santa! Is that really you?"Santa : "Why yes it is my dear child! I forgot to leave you something."Amy : "Is it an I-Pod?"Santa : "Why yes it is my dear child! Would you like it?"Amy : "Oh yes Santa! Yes please!"Santa : "Well my dear child, if you want the I-Pad, you'll have to do something special for Santa"Amy : "Oh ... ok Santa ... what would you like me to do?"Santa stood up and went to Amy's side, she couldn't quite see what he was doing but she heard a zip undo and he was fumbling about with something.Santa : "Well my dear child, I want you to lick my magic finger, then put it in your mouth and suck it for a bit."Amy wan't sure about this, she felt uncomfortable as she couldn't see what Santa wanted licking and sucking. Santa pressed the power button on the I-Pod so it lit up in the dark and waved it about in front of her.Amy : "I dunno Santa, will I get in trouble?"Santa : "No no no my dear child, just lick and suck my magic finger for a bit and the I-Pod is yours."Amy still wasn't sure about this, she still felt uncomfortable about licking and sucking Santa's magic finger but the I-Pod glowed magically in the dark before her. She was captivated by the lights, she really wanted the I-Pod so she took Santa's magic finger and tentatively started to lick it. On the first lick, she recoiled back in disgust and started spitting.Amy : "Ugh! Santa, your magic finger smells like pooh and tastes funny!"Santa : "Well my dear child, your brother just got his X-Box."
