The Three Wise Men and Camels!....

All was quite at the Inn after yesterdays intrusion, Mrs BM The Inn Keepers Wife was just taking her Valium and settling down for the evening when a knock came at the door.

There was fear in BM's The Inn Keepers Eyes has he rose to get the door.
"I hope it's not them Shepherds and sheep again or else your in for it well and truly" she said.
"I'm sure it's just the postman my love" he called as he was walking towards the door.
"They don't deliver this late, so what are you hiding?" she said.

He opened the door only to be confronted with a Camel, and the smallest wise man he'd ever seen.
"What do you want?", he said
"We have come to see the Baby" they cried in unison
And they all rushed through the hall towards the stable, on the way one of the wise men took and ate a mince pie that had just been baked.
"Put that back" the Inn keeper cried, but it was too late.

In the garden all three wise men were bearing gifts, The one on the Dromedary was carrying Frankincense, the One on the Camel from Spain carried the Myrrh and the little one on the Green Dinosaur was carrying the Gold, ??? Green Dinosaur???
Well BMJnr wanted to get in on the act as he was feeling left out, so hey ho, Green Dinosaur it is.

"Just Like last year you have come too early again, so pack up your things and leave the Stable, I think the lady needs her rest" the Inn Keeper said.

"But we followed the star and it lead here" they cried together.
"But your too early, there is no baby yet, so can you go? my wife is not a happy bunny about this lot, especially that Dinosaur"
"Why have you a Dinosaur and not another Camel? he said.
"He ate the Camel, so we conscripted him to carry Balthasar" the little one on the camel muttered, "but I think he's getting hungry again so we may feed him the Spanish one next"
"Oh no you won't, Oh yes we will, he's behind you"

"We won't go there just at this moment in time" the Inn Keeper said, shaking his head.


Just Then Mrs BM His Wife came out with a broom and ushered them to depart.


"We will return" they called together.


"Oh no you won't Oh yes we will"
Oh not again they cried.


And they made there way up the hill following the Shepherds path.


Once again, all was peaceful in the stable and Inn, but what did the Inn Keeper hear, is it the sounds of a birth?
Is it the sounds of a Baby being born?


Stay tuned and we will see.
