Christmas Reading - Day 3

Monday night's story was "The Promise" by Maude Lindsay from The Golden Christmas Book (mentioned in Day 1's reading).
It's a story about a harp player who was asked to play for the king. The harper's family didn't want him to leave. He left but promised to be home by Christmas Day. The king enjoyed his playing so much that he wanted him to stay; so much so that he promised to give him many things. The harper would not stay, he vowed to keep his promise. On his way home, the weather became very snowy and icy. Alas, the harper kept his word and made it home by Christmas day.
