A Legend?

[Press Play button in the sidebar]

One shiny night in December, a very wise and old wizard named Sratanant Clauheus was wondering why muggle world feared magic and would hurt any witches or wizards.
Gripped in the throes of his confusion at this state of things, he was ultimately fortunate enough to arrive upon an idea.

"Why, Of course.." he thought, "We only offer to curse or jinx, because we have to defend ourselves afterall. But maybe we should offer comfort and gifts!.. and spread some cheer during somber winters for all".

He picked up his festive dress robes in Red and white.. and donned his half moon spectacles and threw some floo powder to travel tonight. While pondering upon his final destination, he solved his query, by a quick shout out to.. "A muggle home!" in hurry.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs Muffles were very worried. This year had been especially tough with the money. Little Jimmy was still waiting to get a bike. The season was also not having mercy on them and it was getting difficult to get warm food to the dinner table every night.
With only a glass of milk and some cookies left, they had, with heavy hearts, retired to their beds. But little Jimmy was still hungry for some food and took little steps towards the main room. He made sure that mom and dad were sleeping, and he moved without a sound, quietly peeping.

But as he approached the cookies, something truly amazing happened. The fireplace coughed out an old man in funny red coat who looked simply battered.Gathering up his courage, he went to get a closer look, still holding the plate of cookies and the glass of milk, at the man standing besides the books.

The little meeting in that old muggle home, is responsible for a thousand legends today. Some remember the old wizard as "Santa Claus".. some who initially believed him to have nicked food, ended up modifying the story to call him as "Saint Nicholas". But all who tell this story, cannot forget the cheer he brought along with his gifts, and they all remember for one night.. that believing in magic is truly a gift!
