It was Christmas Eve as Mark emerged from the office. Walking up to his new car, he noticed a street urchin circling with admiration.
“Is this your car Mister?” he asked.
Mark nodded, “My brother gave it to me as an early Christmas present.”
The boy look astounded. “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you anything? Gosh I wish…”
He hesitated and Mark knew what he was going to wish. He was going to wish that he had a brother like that. But the lad’s actual wish jarred Mark to his inner core.
