In those days, the emperor wanted to count all the people the at he ruled.
He ordered everybody to return to where they were born.
Joseph and Mary had to return to
It took them nearly a week to travel there.
When Mary and Joseph arrived, they saw people everywhere.
People were camped in the streets and besides the road.
Mary was tired.
They found a cave. The people kept their animals inside that cave. Since they kep the animals in the cave, they called it a stable.
Joseph said to Mary, “Let’s go into the stable. We can make a bed on the straw. It’s better than sleeping outside.”
They went to the stable so Mary could rest and Joseph made her a nice bed using the straw.
The night, Mary’s Baby was born.
Mary wrapped Him in and long strips of cloth to keep Him warm.
She made a bed for Him in a manger full of straw. Mary and Joseph were very happy. Mary and Joseph named Him Jesus as the angel had said.
