En julehistorie fra Stephenie Meyer

I 2006, før Twilight var et verdensomspennende fenomen, da New Moon akkurat hadde kommet ut, skrev Stephenie Meyer en liten julefortelling i mormonerbladet Ensign.

Jeg skal ikke underslå at julen for meg først og fremst handler om gaver, spise mat og ligge på sofaen, men uansett tro eller ikke tro var det faktisk en fin fortelling. Med et budskap og alt det der.

Fra nydailynews.com.

Slik starter historien:

Hero at the Grocery Store

"Christmas stories happen in the most everyday places. I was part of one not long ago at the grocery store. I hope I never forget it, though the memory is bittersweet.

I had been shopping for almost an hour by the time I got to the checkout lines. My two youngest sons were with me, the four-year-old refusing to hold onto the cart, the two-year-old trying to climb out of the basket and jump down to play with his brother. Both got progressively whinier and louder as I tried to keep them under control, so I was looking for the fastest lane possible. I had two choices. In the first line were three customers, and they all had just a few purchases. In the second line was only one man, a harried young father with his own crying baby, but his
cart was overflowing with groceries.

I quickly looked over the three-person line again. The woman in the front was very elderly, white haired and rail thin, and her hands were shaking as she tried unsuccessfully to unlatch her big purse. In the other line, the young father was throwing his food onto the conveyor belt with superhuman speed. I got in line behind him."
