FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT:
"A Nutcracker Fable 'how nutcrackers came to be'
Once upon a time in the mountains of Germany, there lived a young boy with his mother and father. The boy's father woke up early every day and went to work in the mines. The little boy was scared to stay at home without his father whom be loved very much.
So that his son would not be frightened the father carved him a wooden nutcracker which had fierce eyes and teeth. He told the boy that he should not be afraid because he was safe from harm with the nutcracker there to protect him. The boy was still afraid, so every night when the father came home from the mines, he worked on carving a new nutcracker for his son. He gave his son a different nutcracker....a guard, a painter, a clock-maker, etc. These nutcrackers protected the boy and kept him company while his father was away. The boy always felt sage and when he was older and had a son of his own, he passed on the nutcrackers to him so that he would always be protected from harm. And as the nutcrackers were passed on, the collection grew bigger and bigger as each generation added its own special touch.
THE END" quoted from the Adler nutcracker box.
The moral of the story everyone should have at least one nutcracker for protection or company.
