This fable is no...Here is an addition to the list. This fable is not told as often today as it once was. So, it may be new to the children and bring back memories for the adults.<br /><br />Why the Chimes Rang, by Raymond MacDonald Alden<br />Two brothers in a far away country planned to go to the great cathedral in town to witness Christmas Eve worship in all its glory and maybe hear the chimes ring. The chimes rang only in response to the offering of a truly great gift to the Christ child. They had not been heard in years. On the way to town, the brothers see an old woman dying by the side of the road. The older brother stays with old woman but sends the younger brother on to hear and see what happens at the cathedral and if possible to leave his silver coin on the altar. Great gifts are given, but the bells do not ring – until the younger brother leaves the silver coin on the altar. This old tale is not as familiar to children today, but is well received.
