Well, this is the beginning of a
vacation we've all looked forward to.

1:07:21
And l'm sure we'll enjoy our
holidays more, knowing we've helped

1:07:24
some unfortunate family who would
have had no Christmas dinner without

1:07:26
this basket.
And so a Merry...

1:07:29
Oh, one last thing, this extra pie,
Miss Schilling brought in.

1:07:34
ls little, and a bit crushed, but,
anybody want it?

1:07:38
My, what well fed boys and girls.
All right, class.

1:07:44
Miss McDonald?
1:07:45
Yes, Frances?
1:07:46
l just remembered. l know a very
unfortunate family.

1:07:49
They live in a, in a hovel. They
have two children.

1:07:53
Little golden-haired twins. And
they're all starving.

1:07:56
The pie will probably save their
lives.

1:07:58
Well, then you should take the pie
by all means.

1:08:01
You can come and get it when class
is dismissed.

1:08:04
Which is right now.
And Merry Christmas to you all.

1:08:16
That was a very fine Christmas
spirit, Frances.

1:08:20
But it seems like such a tiny pie to
save so many lives.

1:08:23
Oh, it won't seem small to them,
Miss McDonald.

1:08:25
Even a little pie can look awful big
if you haven't had much to eat

1:08:28
for days and days.
1:08:29
l'll have to tell them to eat slowly,
because they eat very fast on an

1:08:32
empty stomach they'll, they'll...
1:08:38
lt isn't true, is all a lie.
l wanted it for myself.

1:08:42
l'll stay after school, l'll do
anything, but don't send a note home.

1:08:47
l'm not going to punish you child,
for being hungry

1:08:49
or having an imagination.
1:08:52
You know, thas something very few
people have.

1:08:54
ls very precious.
1:08:57
But it can also be dangerous unless
we learn how to use it.
