Unequal gifts

Cynthia and the Christmas Gift
Complete

By Portia Bennett

While researching Cindy and Bobbie’s adventures, I found a reference to a little event that occurred during their Christmas break when they were in high school. Some of the details weren’t available, but I think you can probably fill in what happened.

We often ask of the world, ‘What has life given me?’ This is my answer. It isn’t especially poetic and it isn’t particularly dramatic. It’s just life. My life.

“Look, children, let us focus on what ta do now. Until I sleep, dis change can be undone, but only by you, Charlie. I give ta you de power over de fate o' your friends.”

From within her bosom, Mama Lavise pulled out a locket and opened it before Charlie. In it were two tiny worry dolls, one brown and in trousers and a t-shirt, the other pink and in a dress.

“Switch de dolls' clothin' ta make things as dey were. You have 'til I get home an' lay me head down. Good day, children.”
