A delightful twist on the O. Henry story "The Gift of the Magi," now in Spanish! Agatha owns a weaving shop in Manhattan and likes to answer the questions of children who want to know the source of her beautiful fabrics. She always recites a little verse to them: Everything comes from something, Nothing comes from nothing. Just like paper comes from trees, And glass comes from sand, An answer comes from a question. All you have to do is ask. Perhaps Agatha forgets her own advice, for one night her pleasant sleep is disrupted by six cranky, cold, naked geese. They want to discuss the source of the feathers keeping her so warm in her brand new feather bed. In a delightful O. Henry-inspired ending, Agatha arrives at a solution that benefits them all, teaching readers to understand the delicate balance between our resources and responsibilities.Deedy, Carmen Agra is the author of 'Colchn De Plumas Para Gata Un Cuento De Alas Para Ninos', published 2007 under ISBN 9781561454044 and ISBN 1561454044.
