To the east must

Where the bright tree of

Is rooted in the ocean's

。
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy.
I am 9 years old. I have a problem at school. Can
you help me,
Santa? Kids laugh at me
because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have
cerebral
palsy. I just want one day
where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
love,
Amy
At
radio
station
WJLT
in
Fort
Wayne,
Indiana,
letters
poured
in
for
the
Christmas
Wish Contest. When Amy's letter arrived
at the radio station, manager Lee Tobin read
it carefully. He thought it would be
good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about
this
special
third
grader
and
her
unusual
wish.
Mr.
Tobin
called
up
the
local
newspaper.
The next day, a picture of Amy and her
letter to Santa made the front page of the
Sentinel.
The
story
spread
quickly.
All
across
the
country,
newspapers
and
radio
and
television stations
reported
the
story of the little
girl in Fort Wayne,
Indiana,
who asked for such a simple, yet
remarkable, Christmas gift --- just one day
without
teasing.
Suddenly the postman was a regular at the Hagadorn
house. Envelopes of all sizes
addressed
to Amy arrived daily from children and adults all
across the nation. They
came filled
with holiday greetings and words of encouragement.
Some of the writers
had disabilities;
some had been teased as children. Each
writer
had
a
special message
for Amy. Through the
cards and letters from strangers, Amy glimpsed a
world full of
people who truly cared
about each other.
