The Nativity Play

He was a cocky little kid, full of fun, always sure of himself. He was absolutely certain he would be selected for the lead in the all important Nativity play until the wimp was chosen as Joseph. The wimp.

He would follow the star and become a king but his talent was not appreciated. He didn’t want to be an animal. He became one of the crowd.

He was told to mime the words of the carols because his voice would put off the others. On the night he was the only one with his mouth shut. His mum noticed.
