Girl Mocks Boy Who Didnt Bring Xmas Gift to Class, Visits Him on Reading His Letter to Santa
The classroom buzzed with excitement as the children arrived, their arms loaded with brightly wrapped presents. It was the day of the much-anticipated Secret Santa exchange, and everyone was eager to share and receive gifts. Amid the joy and chatter, Bobby sat quietly in a corner, clutching an envelope, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.
Mrs. Torres, the teacher, scanned the room and noticed Bobby’s subdued demeanor. While the other children were bubbling with enthusiasm, he seemed lost in his own thoughts.
“Let’s start with Bobby,” Mrs. Torres suggested gently. All eyes turned to him, and he hesitated before standing. Slowly, he approached Sally, the classmate whose name he had drawn, and handed her the envelope.
“I’m sorry, Sally,” he said softly. “I don’t have a gift for you, but I wrote you a letter.”
Sally frowned, her voice cutting through the room. “A letter? That’s not a real gift! It’s Secret Santa, Bobby! How could you not bring something?”
“I couldn’t afford one,” Bobby admitted, his face flushing with embarrassment.
Sally’s reaction was harsh. “That’s so poor! I don’t want your letter, Bobby!” Her words hung in the air, heavy and cruel.
Mrs. Torres quickly intervened, chastising Sally for her behavior, but the damage was done. Bobby returned to his seat, holding back tears. The other children exchanged awkward glances, the festive atmosphere dampened.
Later, as the classroom emptied, Mrs. Torres noticed the letter Bobby had left on his desk. Curious, she picked it up and began to read. By the time she finished, tears streamed down her cheeks.
The letter read:
“Dear Santa,
I’m sorry I couldn’t buy Sally a gift. My mom is very sick, and we don’t have much money because we’re saving for her treatment. I drew her a picture of a reindeer because I know she likes them. I hope Sally and her family have a happy Christmas. Please make sure my mom gets better. That’s my only wish.
Love, Bobby.”
