Chuchin always lived dreaming of living in a house with a garden and a large yard to play with. He always closed his eyes and felt that his house was like that, despite the reality he lived in a wooden house with a tin roof and many leaks. Every night he looked at the sky and the stars from his window, thinking how happy he would be if he lived in a big house.

One day in December at school, the teacher tells all the children that they would make the letter to the Child Jesus. Chuchin is surprised and says: teacher for what? I am poor and I never have a Christmas present. At that moment the teacher is silent for a few seconds, takes him by the hand and says: "On Christmas Day, under the light of the stars, close your eyes and make your wish with faith." Chuchin hugged her and felt a light that covered them.

They went on Christmas vacation and Chuchin thought daily about what his teacher told him. Christmas day arrived, her mother did her best to make a small dinner and for the first time she had a gift. When his mother gave him something wrapped he took it and quickly uncovered it, it was a soccer ball. Super excited hug his mother and thanked her saying: "always wait for my Christmas gift", yes this year I asked for something else, but I know that one day it will come, as well as this ball that I always wanted.

His mother told him: "We must always have faith and hope, son, with our work and effort we achieve our dreams." They hugged and I felt frost fall on them, which made them feel a lot of peace and happiness. From that moment he knew that God was present in their lives and by Christmas he became faith and hope.
