A Chanukah Story

This is a Chanukah story.

Once, when I was little,

I pretended to be sick

so, I could skip going to school that day.

Because I was so excited for the first night of Chanukah.

I faked my sickness and I tricked my parents,

and I stayed home from school that day.

That evening we had dinner and then celebrated Chanukah

by lighting the candles and exchanging presents.

All I go was a lousy blanket.

No toy, no gadget, no cool item of the year.

Just a lousy blanket for my bed.

That is my Chanukah story.
