Time to Listen The Little Drummer Boy Long

Time to Listen – The Little Drummer Boy Long, long ago in Bethlehem there was little boy who loved to play the drum. One night, something very special happened. A king was born in a very unusual place. People wanted to buy the best gift they could to give to the new baby king.

The little drummer boy couldn’t afford to buy anything because he was very poor. He sat down and thought, “What is the best thing I can give the king? ” He decided to play his drum for the king. So off he went to the stable where this new king was born, and he played the drum. He played the best he had ever played. Mary, the king’s mother was very pleased with the gift of drumming. The little king was too, because he smiled at the little drummer boy.
