The Imaginative Young Artist

When a class of children were asked to draw a picture of the Holy Family, one child produced a picture in which Mary and the baby sat on a recognizably, donkey’s steed, led by Joseph. And on the ground nearby, lay a black blob.

"What is that, black blob?" asked the teacher. "The flea," answered the young artist. "What flea, dear?" asked the puzzled teacher. And the child, knowingly answered, "The one the Angel told Joseph to take." Really puzzled, but not liking to challenge an imaginative child, the teacher checked out her Bible. And there it was in Matthew 2:13, "......the angel of the Lord saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt."
