"Where are we going?" asked the man.
"You will see soon enough" answered the angel.
Down, down, down they flew
slowly retreating from the night and into
the village below.
After quite a while the man said to the angel:
"I really don't understand and I am terribly busy"
"If you don't understand this your mission is shallow and pointless"
the angel replied.
Soon enough they touched down outside what appeared to be an insignificant stable
lit by a small fire and a torch.
The man turned to the angel, his face full of questions
"Before we go inside" he said finally with a hint of impatience in his voice,
"tell me, who will look after the sleigh and the reindeer?"
