A delightful twist on the O. Henry classic "The Gift of the Magi," starring a weaver and six angry, naked geese. From award-winning author and storyteller Carmen Agra Deedy.When children approach Agatha wanting to know the source of the beautiful fabrics in her weaving shop, she always recites a simple verse."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."Agatha spins yarn and weaves cloth like no other, and she's worked hard to sell enough wares to buy a brand new feather bed. However, when six angry, naked geese show up to get their feathers back, Agatha must reckon with how precious resources can be.New York Times best-selling author Carmen Agra Deedy puts a delightful twist on the O. Henry story "The Gift of the Magi," reminding us of the delicate balance between our resources and responsibilities.
