What happens

The children want to give Reverend Alden a special gift and collect money for it. Mary gets the idea that she can make the money grow faster by investing it.

Instead, the money is lost, and the children have to face the reverend and confess. Reverend Alden shows them that forgiveness and honesty are worth more than any present. A tender Christmas-season story.
