Baboushka and the Three Kings:
A Russian Christmas tale of an old woman Baboushka who lives in a small cottage in Russia. One day, the Three Wise Men arrive following the Christmas star and ask her to join them. It is too late and cold for her, so the men proceed onward without her. Filled with a desire to see this miracle, however, she fills a bag with presents and sets out to find them. Unfortunately, the time has passed and Baboushka cannot locate either kings nor child. It is said, therefore, that every year around Christmastime Baboushka renews her search, leaving presents for other children along the way.
