WITH Libby to hold the ball and unwind the yarn as fast as it was / needed, and Will'm to cut it with the witch scissors every time Miss / Santa Claus said "snip!" it was not long before half a dozen little wool / cherries lay in her lap. Then they helped twist the yarn into cords on / which to tie the balls, and watched with eyes that never lost a movement / of her deft fingers, while she fastened the cords to the front of a red / crocheted jacket, which she took from her suitcase.
"There!" she exclaimed, holding it up for them to admire. "That is to go / in the stocking of a poor little fellow no larger than Will'm. He's lame / and has to stay in bed all the time, and he asked Santa Claus to bring / him something soft and warm to put on when he is propped up in bed to / look at his toys."
