Barry Saves the Day : Christmas Story by Aaral Rastogi an 10-year-old from Bangalore writes a heartwarming Christmas tale set in Norway where Barry the Bear teaches his friends that the true Christmas spirit comes from kindness and thoughtful surprises.
Barry Saves The Day
A long time ago, in the cold region of Norway, there lived four friends: Barry the Bear, Coco the Badger, Missy the Mouse, and Christie the Porcupine.
It was Christmas Eve, and all the animals were happily busy making Christmas presents for one another.
Missy the mouse said, “Do you think Santa will come to visit us?”
“I sure hope so,” said Coco the Badger.
“Yeah, or else there won’t be a Christmas spirit,” said Christie the Porcupine.
“Don’t worry,” said Barry the Bear.
I have something in mind. That night, when they all went to bed, Barry set an alarm for 11:30 PM. They all fell fast asleep and Barry got up and headed downstairs. He quietly placed all the gifts under the Christmas tree and went back to bed.
The next morning, all of them were pleasantly surprised to see the gifts. Later on, Barry told them what he had done. They all thanked him for his kindness and enjoyed the rest of their Christmas.
