on
the story where Mary put the baby in the manger.
Here's
Misha change it. He makes the end of this story
Therefore:
"When Mary put the baby in the manger, Jesus and

i can not, because I'm not going

that. But I so want to live with it, so I thought,
what

"So I asked Jesus, ¡If I menghangatkanmu,
