A little girl mocks her needy classmate for failing to bring a gift for the Xmas celebration until her teacher shows her the letter he accidentally left on his desk.
Every little soul in the classroom was excited as they entered with big, beautiful gifts in their hands. SECRET SANTA. The day had finally arrived.
None of the kids could wait to find out what their Santas had planned to get them. But while the entire classroom was filled with a bit of joy, a little shyness, and a LOT of greed in the hope of getting the best gift, Bobby sat in a corner, clutching an envelope in his hands, his eyes filled with tears, feeling bad for himself…

“So kids,” said their teacher, Mrs. Torres. “Are we all ready?”
A loud unison of squeaky voices filled the class, and Mrs. Torres smiled.
“OK, OK! So let’s get this started. Let’s see… who would want to go first?”
“Me! Me!” All the kids chirped in excitement, but Mrs. Torres’ gaze fell on Bobby, who was sitting quietly amid all the chaos.
“Well,” she said after a pause. “I think Bobby can go first, and then we’ll follow… Bobby, are you ready, sweetheart?”
The entire class turned to look at Bobby, but he didn’t even raise his head.

“Are you OK, child?” Mrs. Torres asked him gently as she approached his desk. “You got one of your classmates’ names for the game, didn’t you?”
Bobby slowly nodded and said, “Sally. I got her name. But I—I don’t have a gift for her… just a letter…”
“Oh, that’s OK! I’m sure Sally would understand!” said Mrs. Torres encouragingly. “How about you give it to her?”
So Bobby did that. He got up from his desk, walked up to Sally’s, and extended the letter to her.
“I’m sorry, Sally,” he said. “I—I don’t have a gift for you, but I did write you a letter.”
“You wrote, what?” she said rudely. “You couldn’t even get me a gift? It’s Secret Santa, Bobby!”
“I’m sorry…” he said sadly. “I just… I couldn’t buy you one.”

“I HATE YOU!” cried Sally. “I got your name! My daddy bought you a nice gift, but you didn’t get anything for me?”
“I got you a letter,” said Bobby. “I made it myself! I drew Santa and reindeer to make it look nice because you love reindeer.”
“Eww!” cried Sally, disgusted. “That’s awful! And it’s so poor! I don’t want it, and I’m not giving you the gift! Look, everyone, Bobby is so poor he couldn’t even buy a gift for me!”
At that point, Mrs. Torres intervened. “Sally, honey, that’s rude!” she said....
