- Story: Our Lord's Companion.Nearly all the old people have some story about the Holy Family.
There is a story of our Lord when he was young. He was left in a cell by himself for a long time. He was very lonely because no one ever came to see him.
Every day passed and he began to get lonelier, but one day a little bird flew in on the window and hopped on to his shoulders and began to sing songs of joy for our Lord. This made him very jolly and he did not find the time passing.
It was a little robin that came to see him. Our Lord was very thankful to the robin after that and since the little robin is always spoken well of by everyone.
