THE LITTLE OLD MAN WHO HAD A BIG BAG

   

      A Turkey that was stuck in the bag of the Father Christmas wrote a letter to the little old man:

   -In this Christmas I want to receive one more year of life.

   And the good little old man answered:

   -One family already asked me to eat a turkey in this Christmas, but if you get two turkeys to me, I can give you the gift that you are asking me.

   The turkey wrote another letter asking:

   -Why do you want two turkeys if the family wants to eat only one turkey?

   And then the little old man who had a big bag answered with other question:

   -How do you think I would keep my big bag if I don’t aim for profits in my deal?
